Proceeding contribution from Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 14 December 2010. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2010.


Higher Education (Basic Amount) (England) Regulations 2010

On the question of personal debt, did the noble Lord see the figures released earlier this month that showed that personal debt in this country is now £1.5 trillion and that, out of 2,000 families surveyed, more than half said they were already in trouble with the debts that they had incurred? Is this any way to go into working life—with this albatross round your neck?
