HC Deb 01 April 1998 vol 309 c563W
Mr. Öpik

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his current estimate of the cost of financing tuition fees for the fourth year of study for Wales-domiciled students studying(a) full-time and (b) part-time at Scottish universities; and if he will make a statement. [36196]

Mr. Hain

We estimate that the extra cost of financing tuition fees for the fourth year of study for Wales-domiciled students studying full-time for first degrees at Scottish higher education institutions would be some £45,000.

There are no Wales-domiciled students studying part-time on the fourth year of first degrees at Scottish institutions.
