Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, who commissioned the investigation into Steve Lamey's performance as Chief Executive of the Student Loans Company; who took the decision to terminate Steve Lamey's contract as Chief Executive of the Student Loans Company; and when that decision was made.

Investigations into allegations received about aspects of Steve Lamey’s management and leadership were commissioned jointly by the Student Loans Company (SLC) and the department.

The SLC took the decision to terminate Steve Lamey’s contract as SLC Chief Executive Officer as a result of the findings of those independent investigations, and following a formal internal SLC process. His contract was terminated on 7 November 2017.
