§ Mrs. EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what estimate he has made of the full loan per SED student in(a) 1998–99, (b) 1999–2000 and (c) 2000–2001, in (i) cash terms and (ii) real terms based on 1998–99 prices. [43903]
§ Mr. DewarThe maximum rates at which student loans are payable are determined annually and are the same for all home students, regardless of their domicile within the United Kingdom. The rates for academic year 1998–99 are set out in the table, those for subsequent years have yet to be determined. There are two separate groups of rates-one for students who entered higher education in or before academic year 1997–98 or fall to be treated as having done so, and another for new entrants in academic year 1998–99.
