Baroness Barran (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Student Loan System

Contribution

Apart from welcoming the noble Lord, Lord Sikka, to the Benches on the other side of the House, I wanted to offer the Minister one simple thing that the Government could do while they work through, as she rightly says, many of the very complicated issues in this area. Many students who have been to university are asking whether they will ever be able to repay their loan and whether it was worth it. If the Government released the longitudinal educational outcome—LEO—data in full, they would be able to see which university and which course would allow them to do that. Could the Minister say when that will happen? If she cannot say today, perhaps she could write to me.
