Clause 1
Sale of Student Loans Bill
4:00 pm

John Hayes (Shadow Minister, Innovation, Universities and Skills; South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
I am grateful for that advice, Miss Begg, which I had anticipated. This is a short version of the very extensive summary that I shall be giving in the clause stand part debate, but I take your point that I need to address my remarks more specifically to the amendment.
Perhaps I can ask the Minister a simple question: will he tell us specifically what rights or obligations will be necessary? Will he confirm, once again, that the amendment will have no impact on the graduate population concerned? Perhaps in the clause stand part debate we can explore one or two of the wider aspects of clause 1, which, as I have said, have given rise to concerns here and elsewhere.
