Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what consultation she or officials of her Department had with her counterparts in the devolved administrations on the suspension and termination of the contract of the Chief Executive of the Student Loans Company, Steve Lamey.

The Student Loans Company (SLC) took the decision to terminate Steve Lamey’s contract as SLC Chief Executive Officer. This was as a result of the findings of an independent investigation into particular allegations made and following an internal SLC process.

SLC has provided updates on the progress to the department and Devolved Administrations at appropriate points in time.
