HC Deb 03 December 1985 vol 88 cc158-9W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the saving to his Department of the changes in the mandatory grant regulations between 1984–85 and 1985–86; and whether this saving is ongoing to future years.

Mr. Walden

The saving resulting from the abolition of the minimum maintenance award and increased parental contributions from those in the middle and upper reaches of the income scale is estimated at £19 million in 1985–86. In later years the effect in each full financial year is estimated at £28 million.
