Sale of Student Loans Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman, who is presenting his case with his usual aplomb, as did the Minister. Amendment No. 10 would introduce a new subsection (6)(d) in clause 3 that would"““include provision to prohibit transfers to another person outside the jurisdiction of the Secretary of State””." Can the hon. Gentleman say a little more about what the phrase ““outside the jurisdiction”” means in that context? In particular, is he seeking to address the fear that I expressed in Committee that we could have another Mapeley-type situation and that the debts could end up offshore? Or is he looking at a wider interpretation of the phrase?
