Students will all receive access to their loans within the time specified and there will be no delays. That is a requirement that we are making on the Student Loans Company. It will be given targets that it must achieve. There should be no delay whatsoever caused by having to complete both forms, which I am advised have to be completed at the same time. My Lords, this is legislation that we are passing.
Secondary legislation is as important and pertinent as the primary legislation itself.
It states that the application form will be delivered to the student when eligibility has been secured. The student does not receive an application form until he or she has secured eligibility and a certificate to prove it. My Lords, as I have said, the university or college to which a student goes will, as soon as the student registers, issue a certificate of eligibility. I commend the regulations to the House. On Question, Motion agreed to.
