HC Deb 19 February 1991 vol 186 c121W
Mr. Bill Walker

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has decided on the level of fee remission grant which will be available to parents under the assisted places scheme in school session 1991–92.

Mr. Michael Forsyth

My right hon. Friend is making £8.492 million available for fee remission in 1991–92. As in 1990–91, 59 schools across Scotland will participate in the scheme. The funding now available should increase the number of pupils benefiting towards the planned level of about 3,000 by the end of the session.
