HC Deb 12 March 1986 vol 93 c477W
Mr. Hume

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will review the current provision of travel grants to third level students from or in Northern Ireland particularly those from the western area; and if he will make a statement.

Dr. Mawhinney

A review of the new arrangements was carried out in 1985. It revealed that the majority of students gained under the flat rate arrangements, and that a relatively small number lost. There are no plans to carry out a further review at present.
