Mr. Raymond S. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has decided the level of fee remission grant which will be available to parents under the assisted places scheme in school session 1993–94.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

My right hon. Friend is making £9.965 million available for fee remission in 1993–94. Fifty-eight schools across Scotland will participate in the scheme. This funding will enable the record number of 3,000 pupils currently benefiting to be maintained.
