§ Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what she estimates will be the maximum cost to public funds of the statutory system of awards for 16-to-19 year olds which she announced on Friday 12th May.
§ Mrs. Shirley WilliamsI have only just begun the consultations with the local authorities which I announced on 12th May. My discussions with them will include consideration of matters such as eligibility and rates of award, and I cannot give any estimates yet of either probable or maximum costs.
