§ Mr. Menzies CampbellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many representations he has had about the withdrawal of social security benefits under the proposed student top-up loan scheme; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonWe have received a substantial number of representations about the Government's proposals on the introduction of top-up loans. Within that total of some 3,000 letters, no separate figure for representations about social security benefits is available.
