§ Mr. Anthony CoombsTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what parental contributions will be payable towards mandatory student awards in the academic year 1991–92.
§ Mr. Alan Howarth[pursuant to his reply, 28 February 1991, col. 554]: I regret that the illustrative parental contribution scales which accompanied my previous reply contained some minor arithmetical errors. These errors would not have affected the assessments to be made in the summer by local education authorities, which will be based on the formulae quoted at the end of my previous reply. The formulae remain correct and will generally still keep the assessed contribution for 1991–92 at the same cash level as in 1990–91, as intended for a parent whose residual income has risen in line with average earnings.
For the avoidance of doubt, the corrected illustrative scales are shown below.
