Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the Government's timescale is for deciding the (a) fee status and (b) loan eligibility of EU undergraduate students enrolled on UK higher education courses in the academic year 2020-21.

We recognise how important it is that students and institutions have information on eligibility for student support before applications for courses open.

Applications for courses starting in academic year 2020/21 do not open until September 2019. We will ensure students and institutions have the information they need well in advance of that date.
