We will look at ways to make student loan system fairer, says Starmer

Labour MPs demand raising repayment thresholds and cutting interest rates as student debt rises, with over 700 constituents reporting large debts, amid concerns over a planned three-year threshold freeze.

  • Sir Keir Starmer has told MPs he would "look at ways" to make the student loans system "fairer".
  • Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the system was "at breaking point" and had become a "debt trap" for graduates.
  • Campaigners have called for changes to the system, after Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced last year that the salary threshold at which some student loans must be paid back would be frozen.
