Taxpayers short-changed by student Loan securitisation, MPs say

摘要

The government received too little from investors when it sold a slug of UK student loans with a face-value of £3.3bn through a groundbreaking securitisation that raised £1.7bn in December last year, according to a report by UK legislators. "Government will need to learn quickly from the weaknesses of this sale if it is to secure the best deal for taxpayers in future," said MP Meg Hillier, chair of the House of Commons' Public Accounts Committee.
