Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

Let me turn to the group that we collectively—and, at the moment, this Government—are failing: the young adults who have invested in their future by going into higher education. Time after time, we see this group of people being failed. They have eyewatering house prices and rents to pay. The interest rates on their student debts are way above the interest rates that the landlords of the buy-to-let properties they are forced to live in, which have mould growing up the walls, are paying on their investment properties. They are being dragged into higher tax payments without an increase to their student loan thresholds.
