Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) 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

Voting against the regulations would inflict huge damage for the reasons that I have explained, given the nature of the loans and the fact that they will not be repaid until the individual is earning a reasonable amount. If the individual never earns anything or takes a career break, he will not have to repay. I do not believe that the regulations will inflict that damage. I am making it clear that for the House to reject the Motion would be fatal.
