HC Deb 03 June 1980 vol 985 cc689-90W
Mr. Thornton

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has revised his proposals for the remission of school fees through the assisted places scheme in the light of his consultations on the proposals published in his reply to the hon. Member for Streatham (Mr. Shelton) on 7 February; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

In the light of my consultations I have decided to revise the proposal published on 7 February and the table below illustrates the fee remission scale which, subject to the approval students from Greece will qualify for the tuition fee concession made to students from other countries of the European Community.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

From the beginning of the first academic year following the accession of Greece to the European Community, that is to say from 1 September 1981.
