HC Deb 05 April 2000 vol 347 c520W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans he has to redress the remaining differences in student support for 2000–01 between the component parts of the UK following the Government's response to the Quigley report. [117626]

Mr. Wicks

The differences in student support between Scotland and the remainder of the United Kingdom arise from the decisions of the devolved Scottish Parliament. In England and Wales, the student support arrangements are working well and there is no case for fundamental change.
