Prisons: Higher Education
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how much has been (a) given to and (b) recovered from prisoners in tuition fee loans taken out since September 2012.
- Answer
-
The Student Loans Company (SLC) administers and collects information on student support for each of the UK Government Administrations.
In February 2015, the SLC responded to the Freedom of Information (FOI) request: How many prisoners have received student finance in the UK in the past three years, and how much has been paid? The response provided can be found at the following link: http://www.slc.co.uk/media/886467/foi_response_199-14.pdf
Information on the tuition fee loans recovered from these prisoners could only be provided at a disproportionate cost.
