Freeze interest paid to the student loan company (SLC) whilst on maternity

Freeze the interest accrued during maternity. Women's pay decreases during maternity for up to 52 weeks (reducing the monthly repayments to the SLC) but will still pay interest. Meaning women will pay more interest and make more repayments to the student loan company than male graduate counterparts.
