HC Deb 24 October 1975 vol 898 c301W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether overseas students are entitled to receive social security benefits during their vacations; and, if so, whether she will estimate the cost to the taxpayer.

Mr. O'Malley

Overseas students are admitted to Great Britain by the immigration authorities on the understanding that they have adequate funds available for their maintenance, and that of any dependants, during their stay. Supplementary benefit is paid only when there is unexpected hardship.
