Question:
To ask the Minister for the Economy whether she will extend the £500 Covid Disruption Payment to all students at further education colleges.

Answer:

As per my responses to AQW 14149/17-22 and AQW 15229/17-22, I have already put in place a range of support measures for further education students. I therefore have no plans to extend the £500 Covid Disruption Payment to all further education students.
