<p>The data supplied in answer to Question 254731 used May 2019 figures. This showed
that of the 264,500 with an advance repayment more than 12 months old, 83,500 were
aged over 40 years old, and 49,500 (59%) of those were male, and 34,000 (41%) were
female. We would expect there to be a difference in the advances outstanding over
12 months’ figures, although the gender split in the original table is more pronounced.</p><p>
</p><p>We have no evidence to explain this greater gender difference in outstanding
advances over 12 months old.</p><p> </p><p>All data used in researching this response
has been sourced from internal management information. It offers a snapshot in time
and cannot be compared to any other, similar data released by the Department</p>
