TREASURY COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE STUDENT LOANS (inc Plan 2). Within that there is a questionnaire for (potential) students, graduates, university leavers & others to feed your views into, which is worth doing... https://t.co/clEUfYYOYF
Its good to see, and lets hope it brings pressure for improvement.
PS Treasury Committee is a cross party committee of MPs, not part of the government. Its job is to scrutinise policy, examine legislation where relevant, and hold ministers and public bodies to account on behalf of Parliament.
While it can publish reports and put pressure on the government, but it doesn't have any direct power to compel the government to act.
The govt's Student Loan Plan 2 repayment freeze in April 2027 must be reversed. It isn't moral.
I'm concerned that my debate with Kemi Badenoch this morning distracts from the most immediate problem. In April 2027 Rachel Reeves will freeze the Plan 2 student loan threshold until 2030 which by then will increase graduate repayments by £300/yr more.
This is effectively a unilateral negative breach of the student loan contract. Students were told the threshold would rise with average earnings. No commercial lender would be allowed to do this. The govt shouldn't do it either.
Changing the terms of future students loans is a political decision - people may not like it but it is transparent. Negatively changing the terms of contracts already signed, and long in place, is a breach of natural justice.
Here's a useful letter template, if anybody is interested in emailing their MP regarding Student Loans.
It takes less than a minute to complete.. 👇

I can’t wait until we find out who the secret traitor is and retrospectively watch all this back, see how blatantly obvious the editors made it, and feel like the stupid faithfuls we slag off every series. #TheTraitors
