HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 cc474-5W
27. Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will introduce new measures to improve financial support for students in further and higher education.

Mr. Boswell

My right hon. Friend makes satisfactory arrangements to provide support through mandatory awards and student loans for most students domiciled in England and Wales on designated courses in higher education. Provision of support for other students in further and higher education is a matter for LEAs and other award-making bodies. Access funds are available for full-time students in particular financial difficulty.
