Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Annex to the post-18 education and funding review entitled, Estimating the lifetime contributions of example borrowers, what estimate he has made of (a) the increased contributions of middle earners and (b) the decreased contributions of higher earners under the proposed system.

This is an independent report to the government. We will consider the report carefully and will conclude the post-18 education and funding review alongside the Spending Review.
