HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 cc591-2W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many students have been refused part or all of their grant for university or other studies because their application for a grant was submitted late; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. McElhone

Out of a total of about 54,000 grants awarded for the session 1977–78, 61 were abated because of the extreme lateness of the students' application. The students concerned did not submit their applications until after the completion of their first term.
