The process required to sell part of the English student loan book under the Sale of Student Loans Act (2008) was launched in February this year. An update will be provided in due course.<\/p>
<\/p>
A sale on the basis set out in February would not represent a step towards privatisation of the provision or administration of student loans. The position of people with student loans would not be affected as a result of such a sale.<\/p>
The proposed sale comprised the rights to future repayments and would not involve alteration of the mechanisms or terms of repayment.<\/p>
<\/p>
This sale process was the first in a planned programme of sales of loans issued under the previous \u201cpre-2012\u201d system, targeting £12bn of proceeds by the end of the 2020-21 financial year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4039", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Orpington"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Joseph Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "2700"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-10T15:40:40.313Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Students: Loans"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of potential revenue to be raised from the privatisation of the student loans book.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4356", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Angela Rayner"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ashton-under-Lyne"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Angela Rayner"} ], "uin" : "2699"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748137", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748137/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We are pleased the Supreme Court unanimously agreed with our position that no child should be taken out of school without good reason. As before, head teachers have the discretion to decide when exceptional circumstances allow for a child to be absent, but this ruling removes the uncertainty for schools and local authorities that was created by the High Court judgment.<\/p>
The evidence shows that every extra day of school missed can affect a pupil\u2019s chances of achieving good GCSEs, which has a lasting effect on their life chances.<\/p>
We are examining the Supreme Court judgment carefully and considering what our next steps will be.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-07-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-07-12T16:29:02.373Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pupils: Attendance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Supreme Court ruling on Isle of Wight Council v Platt in April 2017, what plans she has to work with her colleagues in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to address the issue of disproportionate holiday cost increases outside of school terms.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4316", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mike Kane"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wythenshawe and Sale East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mike Kane"} ], "uin" : "2972"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748138", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/748138/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
