"In a Commons statement yesterday, Mr Denham admitted rules allow prisoners on full-time university courses to claim student grants and loans.

He said some inmates were let out on day release to pursue their studies. Mr Denham said 91 prisoners had received about £250,000 in maintenance loans and £120,000 in maintenance grants during 2007.

The loans are repayable once graduates reach a £15,000 salary threshold. However, critics said much of the cash would have to be written off since many inmates would be unable to repay it."
