§ 26. Mr. Iremongerasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what special consideration is being given to clinical students of medicine as distinct from other medical students, in the current review of students' grants; and what representations have been made to her about their special problems.
§ Mr. van StraubenzeeI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply given on 21st May in answer to a Question by my hon. Friend the Member for Chelmsford (Mr. St. John-Stevas). The higher rate of grant for extra study which will be paid to students at institutions in London will be of special benefit to clinical students. Representations for their exemption from parental contributions and for other special provisions could not be met within the funds available.
