Mr. Bryan Davies
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what plans she has to ensure that those students currently studying part-time access courses will be eligible for the older students' allowance after 1 September. [33151]
Mr. Paice
Students who are currently studying on full-time access courses will remain eligible for the older students' allowance if they undertake a follow-on course of higher education which begins on or after 1 September 1995. Students must be aged 26 or over at the start of their new course and meet the relevant earning threshold.
