HC Deb 26 July 1977 vol 936 cc138-9W
Dr. Hampson

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what action she intends to take concerning the effect of the Race Relations Act on the overseas student fees; and when the House will be informed of it.

Mr. Oakes

My right hon. Friend expects shortly to issue a circular to local education authorities and letters to universities approving for purposes of the Act certain arrangements in respect of tuition fees and admissions of overseas students, in line with existing policies. The circular will also cover arrangements for discretionary awards and boarding charges by local education authorities. Copies will be placed in the Library of the House.
