HC Deb 02 December 1975 vol 901 c498W
Mr. Craigen

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what account is taken of the variation in rent levels at student halls of residence of individual universities in the assessment of the student grant to be allowed for food and board.

Mr. Mulley

The standard maintenance grant takes account of the average level of rents in student halls of residence. It is not varied according to the charges at individual institutions.
