§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many students receive grants based on living elsewhere than in the parental home; and what proportion this is of the number of students receiving grants.
§ Mr. LangThe latest available figures are for the academic session 1988–89, when 31,981 Scottish domiciled students received the elsewhere rate of maintenance grant. This represented 65.8 per cent. of the total number of students receiving a maintenance grant.
