Mr. R. Burke
The relevant boarding school grant comprises three constituent grants as follows:
(a) Grant in lieu of tuition fee;
(b) Grant in aid of maintenance;
(c) Additional grant in aid of maintenance in respect of a necessitous pupil.
Eligibility for the additional grant in aid of maintenance in 1973-74 and 1974-75 was related to income limits not exceeding £1,000 and £1,500 respectively.
The rates of grant paid in respect of the students in question were calculated in accordance with the relevant regulations.
