§ Mr. RookerTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what estimate he has made of the cost of restoring student grants to their 1989 levels in real terms, assuming current student numbers in higher education were maintained; and what percentage rise this represents.
§ Mr. Boswell[holding answer 12 April 1994]: My right hon. Friend has made no such estimate. To do so would require, in addition to assuming current student numbers, further assumptions about changes in his current policy on student support.
