HC Deb 27 November 1989 vol 162 cc50-73W
Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how much his Department has paid, or plans to pay, to Price Waterhouse in consultancy, accountancy and research fees.

Mr. Jackson

The Department has paid £451,223 to Price Waterhouse for preparatory work on the top-up loans scheme. Future expenditure will depend upon the extent to which the Student Loans Company Ltd. makes use of Price Waterhouse's services.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science how students who do not hold a bank account with any of the participants in the Student Loans Company will apply for the proposed top-up loan facility.

Mr. Jackson

Students will be required to apply for a loan through a branch of one of the financial institutions participating in the Student Loans Company.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list those banks and building societies and other financial institutions with which his Department has had discussions concerning participation in the formation of Student Loans Company Ltd.

Mr. Jackson

Discussions have been held with a range of financial institutions, representing principally the bank and building society sectors.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will now publish the detailed cost-time estimates referred to in the initial Price Waterhouse feasibility study on the student loans scheme.

Mr. Jackson

The Price Waterhouse stage II report, placed in the House of Commons Library on 16 November, contained a revised implementation timetable. Administration costs are still subject to contractual negotiations.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish all contracts between his Department and the Student Loans Company or its participants.

Mr. Jackson

The memorandum of understanding was published on 16 November. Other agreements must remain confidential at this stage for commercial reasons.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will update and publish annex E of the White Paper "Top-up Loans for Students", Cm. 520, taking into account(a) administration costs and (b) transaction fees of £12 per student loan application per year, on the assumptions of (x) 80 per cent., (y) 90 per cent. and (z) 100 per cent. take-up of the student loan

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if premises have yet been secured by the Student Loans Company; and if the company's chief executive has yet been appointed.

Mr. Jackson

No.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he plans to publish his revised start-up costs for the Student Loans Company; and if the running costs have been revised.

Mr. Jackson

These costs are the subject of contractual negotiations and must remain confidential at this stage for commercial reasons.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether any of the participating financial institutions in the Student Loans Company has proposed the payment of an indemnity in the event of a change of policy or a change of Government.

Mr. Jackson

The terms on which financial institutions are to participate are subject to confidential contractual negotiations.

Mr. Andrew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the Student Loans Company will be wholly funded by his Department; whether he proposes that participating financial institutions can cease to participate at any time; and what financial penalties are proposed for such withdrawal.

Mr. Jackson

I expect the Student Loans Company to be funded by the Education departments for both the loan principal and running costs. The terms on which financial institutions will participate in the company are subject to contractual negotiation.

Forward to
