To ask His Majesty's Government what action they plan to take to tackle the level of debt repayments unpaid carers in receipt of carer's allowance are continuing to face, following overpayments of carer's allowance; and how many unpaid carers are still affected and at risk of prosecution due to overpayments of carer's...

The Department is making full use of automated notifications of earnings from HMRC to notify Carer’s Allowance recipients that they may be exceeding the weekly earnings limit. This should reduce both the number and size of overpayments linked to earnings, and was a measure welcomed by Liz Sayce in her independent review into such overpayments.
With respect to recovery of debt caused by overpayments, the Department remains committed to working with all customers to agree repayment terms, and strives to set affordable, sustainable repayment plans. Anyone who is unable to afford the proposed rate of repayment can contact DWP’s Debt Management at the earliest opportunity.
For a case to be considered for prosecution, there must have been a suspicion of fraud, a full criminal investigation, consideration of the public interest test and agreement from the Crown Prosecution Service to bring the case forward.

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to reform the terms of repayment for student loans.
The government is taking decisive action to better support disadvantaged students, make things fairer for graduates, and create a more flexible, responsive post-16 education system through the introduction of the Lifelong Learning Entitlement in January 2027.
Since 2024, we have raised the Plan 2 repayment threshold twice, protected borrowers from the risk of inflation shocks by capping interest rates on Plan 2 and Plan 3 loans at 6% for the 2026/27 academic year, and future-proofed maintenance loans by committing to increase them every year in-line with forecast inflation. Further, we are making care leavers automatically eligible for the maximum rate of maintenance loan, and we will be reintroducing targeted, means-tested maintenance grants in the2028/29 academic year, funded by a levy on providers for international students.
We will continue to look for ways to make the system fairer for students, graduates and taxpayers in a financially sustainable way.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the press release of 22 July, Cheaper travel for millions with a third off fares, what the repayment schedules for the United Kingdom’s loans to international climate finance projects will be; and which projects these will include.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the press release of 22 July, Cheaper travel for millions with a third off fares, what the repayment schedules for the United Kingdom’s loans to international climate finance projects will be; and which projects these will include.
The Government is switching £400 million of grant funding set aside for future international climate finance projects into loans, which could include projects such as the Tropical Forests Forever Facility. This provides more flexible ways to meet our international climate objectives. The terms, repayment schedules and interest rates of any loans will depend on the final design of individual investments and will be considered in line with normal value for money and Official Development Assistance requirements.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the answer of 2 June 2026 to question 2901 titled Students: Loans, whether she has made an assessment on the potential merits of bringing the Plan 2 repayment threshold in line with today’s RPI inflation, in the context that the...

Plan 2 student loans were first made available to undergraduate students in 2012. These loans did not enter repayment until 2016, at which point the £21,000 repayment threshold was applied to Plan 2 loans.
Since this government has been in power, we have increased the repayment threshold for Plan 2 loans to £28,470 in April 2025, its first increase since 2021, and we increased it again on 6 April this year to £29,385.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what processes are in place to ensure refunds are made promptly where deductions have been taken in error following a tribunal decision.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what processes are in place to ensure refunds are made promptly where deductions have been taken in error following a tribunal decision.
When a tribunal decision changes a claimant’s benefit entitlement, the decision is implemented through established DWP processes. Where this results in an award overpayment or underpayment, the revised liability is calculated and where appropriate, the relevant information is passed to Debt Management so that any necessary debt recovery adjustments can be completed.
The process in place to prioritise refunds is through a designated inbox, which is monitored daily. If a customer is experiencing financial hardship they should contact DWP Debt Management to discuss their situation, including any follow-up about a potential refund after a successful mandatory reconsideration or appeal dispute.
Different Governments have shifted support for higher education towards loans. The scale of lending has led to concerns about debt burden of debt, high interest rates and costs to the taxpayer.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) publishes information on the total amount of tax debt owed to it, but does not publish a breakdown of the debt balance between businesses and individual taxpayers.
The Government is taking significant action to reduce tax debt. Since Autumn Budget 2024, HMRC has received £782 million of additional investment in its debt management activities, which is expected to help collect more than £12 billion of additional debt by the end of 2030-31.
HMRC published an update to its tax debt strategy at Budget 2025, outlining how the recent investment is helping to close the tax gap and reduce tax debt year-on-year as a percentage of receipts. At 31 March 2025, HMRC's tax debt balance stood at £42.8 billion, equivalent to 5.0% of total tax receipts. This compares with a tax debt balance of £43.0 billion at 31 March 2024, equivalent to 5.2% of total tax receipts.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of backdated VAT refunds if HMRC’s appeal against the March 2026 tax tribunal ruling on public EV charging is unsuccessful.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate her Department has made of the cost of backdated VAT refunds if HMRC’s appeal against the March 2026 tax tribunal ruling on public EV charging is unsuccessful.
HMRC is not currently able to estimate the potential VAT repayments that may arise from the ongoing litigation concerning public EV charging. This is because the extent of any repayments will depend on precise findings and details yet to be set out in the court’s judgement.

The vast majority of taxpayers pay in full and on time. Most debts are resolved as taxpayers engage with HMRC and agree a way forward. The Government's proposals are intended to ensure fairness for taxpayers who pay what they owe by tackling a small minority who can afford to pay but repeatedly choose not to engage with HMRC despite numerous attempts. Each year, over 750,000 lower-value debts, collectively worth over £2 billion, are returned to HMRC from debt collection agencies where collection was unsuccessful.
As the consultation remains open, no final decisions have been taken on the design of the proposed measure. Therefore, the Government has not made estimates of its potential impacts. A full impact assessment will be published if, and when, legislation is brought forward.
