EU Students

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment she has made of the potential for EU students to avoid deferred fee payments made through the PAYE system once they return to their country of origin after graduation.
Answer

We anticipate relying on European Council regulation 44/2001 for the recovery of debt from borrowers who live in other parts of the EU. Robust procedures will be in place to ensure that graduates who return to their home countries pay amounts owed when due and that the risk of default is minimised.
