Sale of Student Loans Bill

I am glad we agree on that. The insertion of the phrase ““aim to”” suggests that the Government cannot be sure that they can determine whether borrowers will be adversely affected by either the sale of their individual debt or their inclusion in a block of debt that has been sold. It implies that they cannot be too precise about the conditions. I think that the hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings (Mr. Hayes) was right to probe the intention of the insertion of the words ““aim to””, and I look forward to hearing the Minister's justification of it.
