Question:379 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Education and Science if his attention has been drawn to the anomaly whereby certain pupils studying in the United Kingdom find themselves disqualified from qualifying for a maintenance grant as the course which they are pursuing is not funded by the Higher Education Council of England, Scotland or Wales or by the Scottish Office and yet the course is publicly funded through the United Kingdom Department of Health in the same way as other degree courses where the public funding is channelled through the relevant Higher Education Council in the United Kingdom; and if he will review the content of form SA1 in the higher education grant application form which is now being used to discriminate against these students.
