Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what proportion of student loans provided by the Government are to students from other EU states; what proportion of those loans are repaid in full; and what the average amount repaid is of those loans.

The Student Loans Company (SLC) administers student loans for each of the UK Government Administrations. Statistics covering English loans to EU domiciled borrowers are published annually by SLC in the Statistical First Release (SFR) ‘Student Loans in England’.

At the end of the financial year 2014-15, the overall Higher Education English Income Contingent Repayment (ICR) loan balance stood at £64.7 billion. Of this, around 1.5% (£958 million) was held by EU domiciled borrowers.

Information on the repayments of these loans in the format requested is not available. However, information on repayments made by EU domiciled borrowers who are liable to repay or making voluntary repayments, by cohort, can be found in tables 3B, 4B and 4C from the SFR ‘Student Loans in England’.
