Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 March 2026

Debate

Student Loan System

Contribution

My Lords, as we all know, there are no university tuition fees in Scotland and across most of Europe, while in England it is completely different. The average student loan repayment scheme at the moment in Scotland is £18,000 while in England it is £53,000, and it is not disloyal to ask my Government whether we think that balance is right. Does the Minister think we could do more to assist English students during this very difficult period?
