Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what steps he has taken to ensure that student loan companies provide bilingual services to students in Wales.
The Student Loans Company has a Welsh language scheme that was approved by the Welsh Language Board in 2009. The Welsh Language Commissioner will carry out an investigation into applying Welsh language standards to the Student Loans Company as part of the second wave of investigations, due to commence in November 2014.
I would be pleased to consider any specific information that the hon Lady might bring to my attention in regard to Honours Student Loans.
