    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I will ask my Committee to also assist me on this. The first question is on the funding. Hon. Members have asked this House to increase the funding for HELB. We, as a Committee, are also looking for ways that we can have all the bursaries that are being given from Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and other sources such as Ministries and HELB, to be at the constituency level so that, at least, we can control the allocation. HELB has also worked on the loan recovery, which affected some of us before we became Members of Parliament. We had to first clear with HELB, which is a requirement also in other areas. Loan recovery is also a way of getting money to loan students. I would like to tell this House that the allocation done by HELB is only done as per the funds available. The information on how to apply for the loan is found in the internet. To qualify for the loan, it all depends on how a student fills the questionnaire provided. That is what is used to determine whether a student gets a loan or not. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
