HC Deb 05 March 1979 vol 963 c408W
Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what would be the extra cost of giving mandatory awards to all full-time students resident in England and Wales already in further and higher education in the current academic years.

Mr. Oakes

The extra cost would depend upon factors such as the proportion of students living at home and the parental incomes, details of which are not available but are estimated to be of the order of at least £220 million.
