Question 11~15
One in eight students with a government loan is unlikely ever to repay the debt, a report published today says. The figure is likely to be a further blow to government plans to privatise the loan scheme, announced in the Queen's Speech last week.
The Student Loans Company has told the National Audit Office that 142 million of outstanding debt is unlikely to be recovered. The loans company admitted recently that outstanding loans totalled more than 1 billion.
The report also highlights questions about the loans company's competence, and records the collapse of its telephone system. Out of 1.1 million attempted calls by students in November 1994 only 41,000 were answered.
Sir Eric Ash, head of the Student Loans Company, has already told ministers that the banks are unlikely to want to take over the scheme. The audit office report is likely to reinforce their reluctance.
The audit office, the public spending watchdog, found that almost half of all students who had received loans had been granted a deferment on repayments because their income fell beneath the statutory threshold. Students are not required to repay a loan until a year after completing their course and then only if their income reaches 85 per cent of national average earnings.
The audit office found that of 269,000 students who should be repaying loans, 122,000 had been granted deferment. The loans company told the audit office that it recognised "it may be difficult to maintain contact with the large number of repayers in deferment".
The company admitted that ￡142 million, about 12 per cent of the outstanding loan portfolio of ￡1.178 billion, might not be recovered due to long-term deferment, death and default.
The audit office report says that the loans company's financial statements do not include any record of nonrecoverable sums "because they are liable to remit to the Education Department only those monies they actually succeed in recovering". As a result of the audit office's objections, the annual accounts will in future include provision for irrecoverable loan debt.
The report found that the loans company had improved its efficiency in the light of previous criticism and processed 517,000 applications for loans in the last academic year. However, 35,000 students experienced significant delay in getting grants.
The Commons Public Accounts Committee will question officials on the report next month, when the proposed priv
