Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms

Lord Sandhurst Excerpts

Tuesday 17th March 2026 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)]

That is an interesting observation and one that I am sure will be considered in the round. These matters will be looked at and reviewed as we go forward, through the lens of fairness for all.

[Lord Sandhurst (Con)]

My Lords, the problem was well known before this Government came into office. The Government have been in power for 20 months or so. Why is there still no plan?

[Baroness Blake of Leeds (Lab)]

My Lords, a month of us being in power roughly equates to almost a year of the Opposition being in power. As I said at the beginning, we are moving forward in addressing affordability and cost-of-living measures, as well as looking at this very complicated area of student loans.
