As the Deputy may be aware, since 2008 the rates of student grant are considered as part of the annual Budget process in common with other welfare and income-support measures. There was no change in Budget 2013 to any of the student grant rates including the non-adjacent or adjacent rates of grant or the higher special rate of grant for the 2013 financial year.
