HL Deb 14 October 1997 vol 582 cc176-7WA
Lord Tope

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will consider the inclusion of dental students in any bursary scheme that they establish to lessen the impact of tuition fees.

Baroness Blackstone

The Government are considering carefully the need for appropriate measures for some health care professional courses. We intend to make a fuller statement in the autumn about our proposals for the funding of higher education.
