HC Deb 12 April 1972 vol 834 cc188-9W
Miss Lestor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many children are entitled to maintenance grants; how many are receiving them; and what was the average amount of the grant per pupil over the last year.

Mr. van Straubenzee

As I explained in my reply to the Question by the hon. Member on 20th January, the Department does not normally collect information about maintenance allowances. The information now requested is not available in the Department.—[Vol. 829, c. 239.]
