HC Deb 19 February 1985 vol 73 c415W
22. Mr. Loyden

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he will review the grants to medical students.

Mr. Brooke

Grants to medical students are paid at the same rates and under the same conditions as for other mandatory award-holders. Rates of grant for the coming academic year 1985–86 will be announced as soon as practicable.

54. Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the level of grant paid to medical students.

Mr. Brooke

Medical students' entitlement to grant is calculated in the same way as for other students. Students undertaking clinical medical training qualify for higher than average awards because of longer than standard terms.
