HC Deb 08 June 1982 vol 25 c93W
Mrs. Shirley Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of students in receipt of mandatory grants for higher education receive the full grant; and what proportion of parents pay less than the assessed parental contribution.

Mr. Waldegrave

One-third of dependent higher education students who received a student award in 1980–81 received the full student maintenance grant. Whilst an assessment of a parental contribution is made in respect of the other two-thirds, information is not collected on the contribution actually provided by parents.
