§ Mr. Arnold Shawasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether any expenditure incurred by a local education authority on behalf of a student at the independent university at Buckingham will rank for grant.
§ Mr. Gerry FowlerThe expenditure would not qualify for specific grant under Section 8 of the Local Government Act 1974; nor would a discretionary award payable to such a student have any perceptible or direct influence on the allocation of rate support grant to the authority.
