HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 c113W
28. Mr. Peter Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether she will now review the availability of mandatory grants to those people who, having obtained degrees at the Open University, wish to continue their studies at other universities.

Mr. Oakes

The provision of mandatory awards to enable graduates who have studied part-time to take second courses at the same level is being considered as part of the current review of student grants; but there are many competing claims for improvements to the system.
