Sale of Student Loans Bill

I shall move on, having made those points. We agree that there should be a statement of the costs of selling the loan book. The final two amendments in the group would insert ““the Student Loans Company”” in the Bill instead of the unspecified person who may act for whoever purchases the loan book. We are prepared to support that because it gives comfort and certainty to students or graduates to know that, when they repay their debt, they are dealing with a consistent agent for collecting it and that the information and conditions are transparent.
