HC Deb 08 November 2001 vol 374 c398W
18. Mr. Illsley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the future of student loans. [11347]

Mr. Andrew Smith

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Skills announced in October that she is leading a review of student funding. This will examine the appropriate balance between the contribution made by students, their families and the state to support our ambitions to widen access and participation in higher education.
