To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate her Department has made of the number of students whose Universal Credit has been affected by receipt of a student loan in the most recent period for which data is available.

Answer

Sir Stephen Timms
The requested information is not readily available as student loan income is not separated in the data we have and to provide this would incur disproportionate cost.
