Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The bursary fund will give £400 more than was available under EMA to the most vulnerable students. It is worth reminding the House that EMA was paid to 45% of 16 to 18-year-olds in further education or training. Only one in 10 of those people said it was necessary for their continued participation, so there was a lot of dead-weight in EMA. The new arrangements are much more realistically targeted, and those in the greatest need are getting more than they would have received under EMA.
