HC Deb 17 March 1995 vol 256 cc734-5W
Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what consultations she has had with the chairman of the Student Loans Company concerning the provision of student loans to students classified as bankrupt; and if she will make a statement.

Mr. Boswell

There have been no consultations between Ministers and the chairman of the Student Loans Company on this matter. However, there has been correspondence between company executives and officials. The Education (Student Loans) Act 1990 does not specifically prevent students classified as bankrupt from being eligible for a loan.
