HC Deb 11 November 1981 vol 12 c98W
21. Dr. Bray

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what arrangements exist for students at Scottish universities who do not get their full parental contribution.

Mr. Alexander Fletcher

In assessing a student's award my Department takes account of the sum which parents can reasonably be expected to contribute to his or her maintenance, and notifies the student accordingly; but no arrangements exist for supplementing the award if no such contribution is made.
