HC Deb 14 April 1980 vol 982 c543W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will provide mandatory grants for the Certificate of Qualification in Social Work course.

Sir George Young

The Department already awards grants to graduates entering post-graduate courses leading to the Certificate of Qualification in Social Work. Cash limits restrict the number

Supplementary benefit unemployment benefit
Easter 23,000 30,000 (estimated)
Summer 100,000 not available
Christmas 10,000 16,000

I regret that it is not possible to estimate the expenditure involved.
