Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2026

Debate

Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms

Contribution

What I will say is that the imperative, for whatever comes in, is that fairness is at the centre of what we do. We have to make sure that the question of being able to afford studying is not something that puts people off. Courses should be available to all young people, regardless of their family backgrounds. That is a principle we have to hold on to and make sure is at the centre of any discussions we have going forward.
