Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether loan extensions have been granted to UK citizens who have been unable to repay in full within six months the emergency loans provided to them by the Government while stranded abroad as a result of the covid-19 pandemic.

We have agreed to more than 500 loan repayment plans with recipients of loans so far. Most of these repayment plans mean the loan will not be repaid in full until after the six month deadline.
