asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is now prepared to grant the necessary currency to students in this country to enable them to attend universities or schools in France or Switzerland.

Currency is already provided for students to attend full-time courses at universities abroad. Limited facilities for education at schools in Switzerland, under arrangements agreed upon with the Swiss authorities, have also been in force for some time. So far as France is concerned, my right hon. and learned Friend is now prepared to make reasonable amounts of currency available to enable children to be educated at schools in that country.

Could the right hon. Gentleman give us some indication of what the figures are? He said "reasonable amounts" in his answer.

That will, of course, have to be a matter for arrangement.
