Student Loans Company

Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Innovation, Universities and Skills how many reviews were conducted by his Department and its predecessor into the workings of the Student Loans Company in the last three years; and if he will place the results in the Library. [175710]

Bill Rammell: There have been no reviews solely of the Student Loans Company in the last three years. However an end to end review of student finance delivery in England was commissioned in 2005 The review looked at the arrangements for delivering financial support to students, including the future role of the Student Loans Company. The findings of the review were published on 31 January 2006 and a copy of the report has been placed in the Library. On 3 July 2006, I announced in a statement to the House our response to the review including plans for transforming the student finance service which will be available for new students applying in September 2008 to enter higher education in 2009/10 academic year.
