HC Deb 18 February 1971 vol 811 c543W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will end the practice whereby students' grants are reduced on their marriage.

Mr. van Straubenzee

No such reduction is made for men students. In the case of women students, it is made, generally speaking, only when the woman lives at home with her husband, and he is not a student. Representations received by the Department on behalf of these students are being considered during the current review of awards.
