MARSHALL SCHOLARSHIPS

Thank you for your minute of 24 September.
You suggest that we might look again at the balance between the Marshall scholarships and the allocation for Hong Kong. Hong Kong continues to benefit from the fee support scheme introduced in 1983 to provide special short term assistance for overseas students from territories which had traditionally sent large numbers of students to study in the UK, and which were hard hit by the introduction of full cost fees in 1980. Most of these schemes are being phased out: for political reasons those for Hong Kong (and Bermuda and the Caymans) are being maintained.

I do not think this is the right moment to consider cutting the Hong Kong allocation- and if we were to do so, we should probably find that there were other higher priority claims on any money released than from the United States. Board of Management will need to look at overall FCOSAS priorities again next year; and the Hong Kong programme will no doubt be scrutinised in the light of developments in the run up to 1997.
