Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sale of Student Loans Bill.


Sale of Student Loans Bill

This is a rerun of the debate that took place in 1997. I am sure that the Minister will recall the first student loans portfolio Bill, and I shall ask him something that I asked then. Will he put on record, at the start of this debate, the discounted rate at which the loan will be able to be sold off? Will it be 10, 15, 20 or 25 per cent.? In other words, how much is the Treasury prepared to give away in order to get this loan portfolio off its balance sheet and on to somebody else’s?
