HC Deb 31 March 1977 vol 929 c254W
Mr. Brocklebank-Fowler

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps she proposes to ensure that the emergency fund is adequate support for overseas and self-financing home students, presently at university, who without such support may have to terminate their sudies.

Mr. Oakes

There is no specific fund, but the UGC recurrent grant for 1977–78 includes an allowance to help universities deal with cases of hardship. It will be for the universities to decide what provision to make from the total resources available to them.
