Comments on: Increased Tuition Fees mean Increased Losses for the Student Loans Company 2011/04/13/increased-tuition-fees-mean-increased-losses-for-the-student-loans-company/ London MEP European Parliament Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:57:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Daniel Oxley 2011/04/13/increased-tuition-fees-mean-increased-losses-for-the-student-loans-company/#comment-4416 Sat, 23 Apr 2011 16:52:08 +0000 ?p=14310#comment-4416 Mary raises an important issue. The loss of revenue from EU students failing to pay back their loans to the UK could be considerable now that the tuition fees are set to rise but one wonders if writing a letter to the Commission is likely to succeed unless the envelope were to include a few large denomination bank notes.

The EU were unable to account for more than 8% of the money we sent them last year leaving the remaining 92% subject to what the EU’s accountants described as ‘fraud and irregularities’. Setting them the task of tracking down EU students who dodge their financial obligations is a bit like putting a fox in charge of a chicken coup.
