HC Deb 29 March 1994 vol 240 cc734-5W
Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what consideration he has given to special provision of further financial support for medical students and others on four and five-year degree courses; and if he will make a statement.

23. Mr. Boswell

My right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer told the House on 30 November 1993 that the total support available to students through the mandatory maintenance grant and the student loan would rise by 4 per cent. in 1994–95. The same annual rates of grant and loans apply to all students irrespective of their course length. We have no plans to change that arrangement.
