HC Deb 29 November 1985 vol 87 c687W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what response he has made to the recommendation issued in the 24th Report of the House of Lords Select Committee on the European Communities 1984 (page xxviii) advocating a common status and income approach for all trainees and students.

Mr. Chris Patten

The Government's response to the 24th report of the House of Lords Select Committee on the European Communities 1984 was given in the course of the debate on the report in the other place on 22 October. I draw the hon. Member's attention to what Lord Young of Graffham said about the recommendation for a common status and income for all trainees and students in his closing speech.
