§ Mr. Marlowasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether, and to what extent, Iranian students are being financed from public funds.
§ Dr. BoysonIn the academic year 1980–81, Iranian students continuing courses begun before 1 September pay tuition fees which on average cover only 40 per cent. of the cost of their courses, with the balance of 60 per cent. being met from public funds. Those beginning courses on or after 1 September this year are required to pay fees representing the full cost of their courses.
