Summary
The Treasury Committee is pushing the government to scrap a three-year freeze on student loan repayment thresholds, which means more graduates will pay back more as wages rise — but the government’s response is lukewarm, calling it “under review” while refusing to reverse course. Finance expert Martin Lewis calls this move “immoral,” slamming the government for rejecting fair loan protections and sticking with the higher RPI inflation measure. Though transparency pledges were made for future students, Lewis insists nothing fixes the current crisis — and he’s holding out hope that public pressure might force a change in the next budget.
