Sale of Student Loans Bill

My understanding is that the answer is no. Either we will suspend at that stage and move on to line-by-line consideration, or we will come back in the afternoon sitting for line-by-line consideration. It is possible for the Committee to decide to take evidence from more witnesses as the Bill goes through the Committee and to sit in private again then. However, this is a short Bill and we do not have a lot of sittings. Coming back into a private sitting to discuss what happened in the open sitting is not possible. It will be up to hon. Members to debate the issues that are raised during the public oral evidence session.
