Sale of Student Loans Bill
10:44 am
Bill Rammell: We obviously look at all reports regarding the sale of Government assets. However, what we are looking at here is a particular type of sale where we have a robust track record. The sale of the mortgage-style loans that took place in 1998 demonstrated value for money, but I am not sitting here today saying that, by passing this Bill, we will automatically undertake x amounts of sales within y periods. It will depend on the market circumstances and on both the internal advice and the external advice that we receive about market conditions. If we cannot demonstrate value for money, the sales will not proceed.
