Students: Loans
Asked by: Ruth Cadbury (Labour - Brentford and Isleworth) Monday 23rd March 2026 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has made of the financial impact of maternity leave on the (a) amount of additional debt accrued on and (b) length of time to repay the debt for student finance loans. Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) The department and the Student Loan Company do not hold information on the amount of additional money accrued by women while on maternity leave. Student loan repayments are linked to income, not to the amount borrowed or interest applied. Repayments are made at a constant rate of 9% above the earnings threshold. Borrowers earning under the repayment threshold, including while on statutory maternity leave, are not required to make repayments, however, interest will continue to accrue. When borrowers are on maternity leave, and earnings are below the earnings threshold, interest, across both plan 2 and plan 5, is applied at the Retail Price Index only. Any outstanding loan, including interest built up, is cancelled at the end of the loan term with no detriment to the borrower, and debt is never passed on to family members or descendants. The department will release an equalities impact assessment, including the impact on lifetime repayments, alongside other borrower impacts for the plan 2 repayment threshold and interest threshold freeze announced at the 2025 Budget. |

Red Diesel: Houseboats
Asked by: Ruth Cadbury (Labour - Brentford and Isleworth) Thursday 26th March 2026 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to provide financial support to house boat dwellers impacted by the cost of red diesel fuel. Answered by Dan Tomlinson - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Certain uses, such as non-propulsion use by private pleasure craft, retained the entitlement access to use red diesel after it was withdrawn from most sectors in 2022. In contrast to full duty diesel, taxed at 52.95 pence per litre (ppl), red diesel currently incurs a duty of 10.18 pence per litre.
At Budget 2025, the Government extended the temporary 5p fuel duty cut alongside extending the proportionate percentage cut for rebated fuels, which includes red diesel. This maintains the red diesel rate at the levels set in March 2022 at 10.18 peppl until the end of August 2026, with rates then gradually returning to March 2022 levels by March 2027, an increase of less than 1 ppl. The planned inflation increase for 2026-27 has also been cancelled.
As the Chancellor has set out, the Government will keep fuel duty under review. |
