I assume the Deputy is referring to potential changes to the student grant scheme under budget 2012. The Deputy will appreciate that as the preparation of the Estimates for any budget is carried out on a strictly confidential basis, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on specific issues or proposals, including those relating to student grants, in advance of the budget announcement.
