HC Deb 18 January 1994 vol 235 c489W
Mr. Raymond S. Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what conclusions he has reached about the future administration of student awards in Scotland.

Mr. Lang

I have decided that student awards branch of the Scottish Office Education Department should become an executive agency of the Secretary of State for Scotland, under the "next steps" initiative, with a proposed launch date of 5 April 1994.
