HC Deb 27 February 1986 vol 92 cc662-3W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what Scottish secondary educational qualifications are required for those seeking science studentships funded by his Department.

Mr. Lee

The MOD student scientist scheme provides pre-recruitment sponsorship of undergraduates who may, on graduation, be appointed as Civil Servants in the science class. In Scotland, the minimum secondary educational qualifications required for such sponsorships are three higher Scottish certificates of education in relevant subjects.
