§ Dame Judith Hartasked the Lord Privy Seal how many Chileans are at present studying in the United Kingdom on British Council grants and Overseas Development Administration technical assistance grants; and what plans exist for this programme.
§ Mr. Neil MartenMy Department is providing grants, from technical co-operation funds, for the training in Britain of 17 students nominated by the Chilean Government, and 244 Chilean refugees. No new awards are being made under the refugee scheme and there are no plans at present for further awards to Government nominees. I understand that the British Council, from its own funds, is currently providing scholarships for six Chilean students.
