Asked by David ReedConservativeDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 2 April 2026UIN 115759

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of Plan 2 student loan borrowers have repaid in real terms more than (a) 100 per cent, (b) 120 per cent and (c) 150 per cent of the amount originally borrowed; and how many of those borrowers have (i) an outstanding balance and (ii) fully repaid their loans.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

The department does not hold data that allows us to provide the proportion of the amount originally borrowed that has been repaid in real terms.

The projected percentage of Plan 2 student borrowers in 2022 who are expected to fully repay their loan in real terms is available at:
