HC Deb 24 October 1994 vol 248 c414W
Mr. Pawsey

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what funding she(a) has made and (b) intends to make available for Chinese students, with particular reference to translators, to study English.

Mr. Boswell

None. However, Chinese students will receive nearly £1.4 million of Government funding in the 1994–95 financial year from FCO, ODA and the British Council scholarship schemes for overseas students. It is not possible to identify how much of this funding will benefit students who wish to study English with the aim of becoming translators.
