Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many students, in the academic years(a) 1993–94, (b) 1994–95 and (c) 1995–96 under provisions of the Education (Mandatory Awards) Regulation 26 (3) (a), (i) had their student grant withdrawn, (ii) had their grant reduced and (iii) had their grant continued at the rate awarded, because they were unable to attend their course due to illness.

Mr. Forth

The information required is not collected centrally. The administration of mandatory awards is a matter for local education authorities, who make decisions on individual cases according to the relevant regulations.
