HC Deb 15 June 1978 vol 951 cc657-8W
Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science which European countries currently provide grants to pupils at school between the ages of 16 to 18 years.

Mr. Oakes

On the basis of information available to my Department, Denmark, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden have arrangements for providing financial support either directly to the pupil or indirectly by way of family support measures.
