§ Mr. Lomasasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she is aware that radiography students are allowed five weeks' holidays a year whereas physiotherapy students are allowed between six and eight weeks a year; and if she will arrange for a fixed number of weeks holiday for all students.
§ Dr. David OwenThe period of vacation for radiography and physiotherapy students is at the local discretion of school principals in the light of guidance from the relevant professional bodies and subject to the demands of the syllabus. I see no present need to intervene.
