HC Deb 02 July 1992 vol 210 c697W
Mr. Michael

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what steps he proposes to take to help students who are unable to find vacation work and have no other form of income during the summer period.

Mr. Burt

The social security system is not intended as a means of educational funding. Most students should look to the educational maintenance system for their financial support. Income support and housing benefit are still available to certain groups of students including disabled students and those with dependent children.
