Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lindsay Hoyle and Chris Skidmore

Monday 20th January 2020 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

[Chris Skidmore]

Students pay nothing back until they start earning £25,725 a year, and that will rise to £26,575 from April 2020. It is important to understand that the number of people from disadvantaged backgrounds going to university has risen by 62% since 2009, and the Government are committed to looking at interest rates in future as part of the Conservative manifesto’s proposals.
