SALE OF STUDENT LOANS

Early day motion 542, tabled 8 October 2013 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 76 members.

That this House believes that the Government's plans to sell off the student loan book to the private sector would be a grave error; notes that in order to make the student loan book profitable for private companies it would need to be accompanied by either subsidies from the taxpayer or an increase in the financial burden placed on graduates; and opposes any proposal to privatise the student loan book.

Signatures by party: Labour 65, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, DUP 1, Green 1, Independent 1, Respect 1, Scottish National Party 1.
