Should the government reverse the freeze on student loan repayment thresholds?

The Treasury select committee has accused the government of mis-selling student loans through promotional slides comparing repayments to mobile phone contracts and YouTube videos that omitted the fact that loan terms could change. Rachel Reeves announced last year that the repayment threshold on plan 2 loans would be frozen at £29,385 for three years from April 2027. The committee says ministers have a moral obligation to reverse this decision and honour the original terms sold to students.
