HC Deb 01 November 1993 vol 231 c54W
Mr. Beggs

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans he has for extending the availability of student loans to postgraduate students in order to bring provisions for their finance into line with that for undergraduate students.

Mr. Boswell

Within the limited resources available, the Government's priority has been to make loans available to full-time undergraduate students and those on courses of initial teacher training. The Government have no plans to extend loans to other postgraduate students, many of whom have access to other resources.
