§ Dr. HarrisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how the receipt of a London weighting 829W allowance in a salary is treated by the regulations governing the repayment threshold and liability under the student loan scheme. [136534]
§ Mr. WicksBorrowers with mortgage style loans may apply to defer repayment of their student loan for a year at a time if their income is not more than 85 per cent. of national average earnings. London weighting is treated as part of the borrower's income. Borrowers with income contingent loans are liable to repay 9 per cent. of gross income (taxable or liable to national insurance) over £10,000 a year. London weighting is treated as part of gross income.
