§ Mr. Tom Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the percentage of students in receipt of SED awards who receive the maximum parental contribution.
§ Mr. Michael ForsythIn academic session 1985–86, the latest period for which figures are available, 21.1 per cent. of SED award-holding students received no standard maintenance allowance, either because their parents were assessed as liable for the maximum parental contribution or because no claim for maintenance was made.
Information on parental contributions actually made is not available; that is a matter between the students and their parents.
