HC Deb 26 July 1983 vol 46 c363W
Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what state benefits are counted against student maintenance grants and allowances; and for what reasons.

Mr. Brooke

To maintain the balance between the respective contributions of the students and his family and the taxpayer, all state benefits, other than those provided for in schedule 3 to the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulations, are taken into account in the assessment of student maintenance grants and allowances.
