§ Mr. Nicholas BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the liability to pay 20 per cent. of the applicable community charge will be taken into account in assessing the level of student grant from 1989–90 onwards.
Mr. JacksonThe rates of student grant for 1989–90 were announced on 16 December at column 755. Students' discounted liability for the community charge was one of the factors considered in reaching decisions about those rates.
