The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to plans for its DG Education shown on page 77 of Efficiency Delivery Plans: May 2008, for what levels of parental income the parental contribution towards student support will be higher as a result of assessing the parental income from one year prior compared with two years prior, as will be the case in the rest of the United Kingdom.

The answer

Answered by Fiona Hyslop on 17 Jun 2008 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government has not estimated what the effect of such a change may be. The Student Awards Agency for Scotland has always assessed parental income from one year prior and has no plans to change this.
