To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 19 December to Question 203781 on Disabled Students Allowances: Part-time Education, from which budget was the additional funding for the Disabled Students Allowances in 2017-18 allocated.

Each year, as part of the Main and Supplementary Estimates process, Parliament approves the total spend against specific objectives (within agreed budgetary limits).
