00:00Mr. Speaker, before the Prime Minister and I became MPs, parties of every colour increased the cost of going to
00:07university.
00:08The system is now at breaking point for graduates.
00:12I believe the student loans have become a debt trap.
00:15It is time for all of us to do something about it.
00:19Will he cut interest rates on student loans?
00:25Prime Minister.
00:26Mr. Speaker, I have to say I'm glad to learn that the Leader of the Opposition has finally admitted that
00:33they scammed the country on this.
00:36And that applies to everything they did in government.
00:39We inherited their broken student loans system.
00:44We've already introduced maintenance grants to improve the situation, which they scrapped.
00:50And we will look at ways to make it fairer.
00:53And we will do other things within the economy to help students.
00:57What other things they say?
00:58The news this morning, Mr. Speaker, 7am, energy bills coming down by £117.
01:06For millions of families and young people struggling, that's guaranteed money off bills in April.
01:13Driven by the action that this Labour government has taken.
01:16We promise to cut the cost of living.
01:19We are cutting the cost of living.
01:21We are here.
01:22We are here.
