§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the estimated cost of the introduction of student loans.
Mr. JacksonI have been asked to reply.
An estimate was included in annex E of Cm. 520. An estimate of administrative costs, not calculated there, was provided in my right hon. Friend's statement on 19 June at columns 21–22. Work is continuing to refine those estimates; the results will be published in due course.
