Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to her Department's press release entitled Interest rate cap introduced to protect Plan 2 borrowers, published on 7 April 2026, what estimate her Department has made of the cost to the public purse of capping interest on Plan 2 and 3 student loans at 6% for the 2026/7 academic year.

I refer the hon. Member for Harborough, Oadby and Wigston to the answer of 22 April 2026 to Question 124528.
