§ Mr. Beithasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, why there is a difference between the proposed minimum overseas students' fees for universities and those for polytechnics.
§ Dr. BoysonThe respective recommendations of the University Grants Committee and the local authority associations reflect judgments by those bodies of the best arrangements for dealing with the new policy for overseas student fees in universities and maintained institutions, and the figures are not comparable. 191W The former left it to universities to determine the fees to be charged subject to a stated minimum. For maintained institutions the practice continues of stating the actual fees which will apply.
