The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-29824 by Iain Gray on 7 October 2002, what the average level of non-commercial debt was for a student completing four years of higher education, having undergone no previous sub-degree courses and having taken out the maximum available government support available, in each year since 1995.
The answer
The maximum government support available to each student, including student loan support, will depend upon individual circumstances including family income. To calculate the average figure in each year would, therefore, be time consuming and incur a disproportionate cost.
