Mr. Litterick

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report figures showing the estimated cost to public funds of maintaining a married adult with two children who is attending a full-time course of higher education.

Mr. Gerry Fowler

The standard maintenance grant for a married undergraduate student with two children is £1,370; £1,440 in London. For the academic year 1976–77, the equivalent figures will be £1,630; £1,710 in London. The grant is subject to reduction depending on family income.
