HC Deb 12 November 1980 vol 992 c223W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what university fees are required to be paid at British universities from (a) students from Guadaloupe and (b) students from Hong Kong.

Dr. Boyson

My right hon. and learned Friend has recommended that as from 1 September 1980 students from Guadaloupe, which as an overseas department of France is part of the area comprising the European Economic Community, be required to pay £1,105 a year if postgraduates and £740 a year if undergraduates. Students from Hong Kong starting new courses in 1980–81 who have not been ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom for three years will pay the full cost of their course to minima of £2,000 in the case of an arts course, £3,000 for science and £5,000 for the clinical years of medicine, dentistry and veterinary science.
