§ Mr. Higginsasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science why students in West Sussex taking chiropody courses are not eligible for mandatory grants; and what consideration she has given to designating chiropody courses.
§ Mr. OakesThe categories of courses which attract mandatory grants are laid down in the Education Acts. Chiropody courses could be considered only under the category of courses comparable to first degree courses, and my right hon. Friend does not regard chiropody courses as falling within that category.
