WOMEN AND STUDENT DEBT

Motion Text

That this House notes that according to Government projections women graduates face 16 years on average to pay off their student debt; further notes that male graduates take on average 11 years to pay off their student debt; believes that this discrepancy is due to the continuing pay gap between men and women; and calls upon the Government to look again at this issue in the run up to the 2009 review of higher education funding.
