Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Oral Answer of the Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation to the hon. Member for Battersea of 14 May 2018, Official Report, column 15, when he plans to complete the evaluation of the impact of the £200 charge for computer equipment for students in receipt of Disabled Students' Allowances.

The evaluation into Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) is due to conclude in summer 2018. The evaluation examines the effectiveness of DSAs as a whole, including the recent reforms requiring students to contribute £200 to the cost of DSAs-recommended computer equipment. The department will consider the research findings when they are available.
