Default Britain may fund EU students

THE Government could face extra education bills if a French student wins his legal battle in Europe for a maintenance grant to study in London.

The prospect came a step closer yesterday when a European Court judge backed Dany Bidar’s claim that the London borough of Ealing’s refusal to give him funding — because he was not “settled” in Britain — breached his rights as an EU citizen.

Confirmation in a final EU court verdict next year could open the way for more claims. The European Court’s Advocate-General, Leendert Geelhoed, said yesterday that maintenance costs could be within the EU’s scope.

If his opinion is followed by the European Court, it would amount to a “new and unforeseen development” in EU law of which the Government would not have been aware when drafting education legislation, he said.

The Department for Education and Skills said the opinion was not binding at this stage. It would study the case.

Come to treasure island and help yourself, why not come and stay in my spare room too and help yourself to my food. Yes I worked hard for it but it's the least I can do for my European chums, who have always offered us the same kindness. :roll:
