To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will continue to provide educational maintenance allowances for college students.
Answer
As we announced in June, increased demand and pressures on public expenditure, and the fact that our budget for 2011-12 is not yet set, require us to review the scheme in December 2010. We will take stock of spend to date and the numbers of young people in receipt of educational maintenance allowance (EMA). This will allow us to consider whether further adjustment to the EMA programme is needed in order to control pressure on the budget. We have no plans to end it.
