Student Loans Company
EDM number 2030 in 2008-09, proposed by Phil Willis on 13/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Loans and Students.
That this House is extremely concerned over the failings of the Student Loans Company to deal effectively with student applications for loans in 2009; notes that when most students had commenced their courses on 4 October 2009, 175,000 were waiting for their loans of which 136,410 were first time applicants; further notes that, despite commitments to manage the backlog, 116,000 undergraduates have received no money; recognises that the Student Loans Company has had to deal with record numbers of applications but has failed to prepare adequately for the increased demand; and calls on the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills to carry out an immediate inquiry into the operation of the Student Loans Company to prevent a reoccurrence in 2010.
This motion has been signed by a total of 81 MPs.
