Greg Mulholland Slams Government over Handling of Student Loan Crisis

1.20.00pm GMT Mon 26th Oct 2009

Greg Mulholland MP for Leeds North West has spoken of his immense frustration over

the poor handling of the student loans crisis on the part of the Government.

Greg has been one of the most vocal MPs in holding the Government to account on this

issue and has signed EDM 2030 criticising the Student Loans Company

Commenting on the situation Greg said:

"This simply isn't good enough, because of this lack of funding students are being

forced to live under very difficult circumstances. The recession has already

stretched resources at many universities, which are now at breaking point.

"The Student Loans Company has failed to address the very shortcomings it was

invented to cure. The current situation has led to many students being unable to

afford necessities like food, let alone materials important and appropriate to the

courses they are undertaking.

"I have written to the Minister David Lammy to express the frustration that many

students in my constituency have spoken to me about."
