The Department for Education (DfE) is establishing an alternative student finance (ASF) product, compatible with Islamic finance principles, to enable all students, regardless of their faith, to access Higher Education (HE). Whilst the current student finance system provides interest-bearing loans for students entering HE study, some students, particularly those who identify as Muslim, do not feel able to access these loans due to their faith. ASF will address this barrier by providing a faith-sensitive equivalent to the current loan product. Students accessing ASF will not suffer any detriment nor experience any advantage through choosing to access student support via this route. The ASF system will be based on a ‘Takaful’ model, to provide a form of group-based mutual support. Recipients will receive financial support for HE and, in return, will commit to making contributions back to the scheme in the future which will be used to help other students go to university. ASF recipients will make the same total contributions as those who opt for the conventional student loan product. Like the conventional student loan scheme, these contributions will be based on what people earn and will therefore be of the same amount and made at the same time as repayments for conventional student loans. Legislation has been put in place, through the Higher Education and Research Act (HERA) 2017, to enable ASF to be introduced. At present, we are working closely with a group of specialist advisors to develop a robust ASF model. Alongside this, the Government is also reforming the wider student finance system. The introduction of the Lifelong Loan Entitlement (LLE) will significantly change how students access learning and financial support. We intend to introduce ASF as soon as possible after the LLE, so that both reforms work cohesively to expand opportunity and support for all learners. To ensure that ASF funds are managed in accordance with Islamic finance principles, the DfE is exploring the banking arrangements required. This will include establishing a bank account that can hold and move funds in a compliant manner, including that the account must not bear or generate interest. This engagement activity is focused on generating insights from the market, including market interest in fulfilling this service, feasibility of account options, the anticipated availability of compliant accounts meeting DfE’s requirements, expected costs for the required account and estimated timeframes to establish and operationalise the account. We are keen to identify whether there are innovative solutions that may help deliver better public services and value for money. We anticipate that there will be a contract for this service. The supplier must be able to: • provide evidence of how it handles and holds money in an Islamic finance compliant manner • facilitate the transfer of funds • be fully regulated with FCA/MPM compliance. We expect that a full specification of requirements will be provided after this exercise, in line with an invitation to tender if/when issued.

International waste shipments relate to the import and export of waste across international boundaries. These movements of waste are subject to the controls outlined in the retained EU Waste Shipments Regulations, which aim to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment. The regulations also aim to prevent the unauthorised disposal/recovery of hazardous waste shipments in countries where they are not able to handle the waste in an environmentally sound manner, without hindering the legitimate trade in waste. International waste shipments from England can be subject to notification controls, which applies to all imports and exports of: • Hazardous waste moving for recovery • Any type of waste moving for disposal • Some imports and exports of non-hazardous wastes for recovery Where these controls apply, organisations need a uniquely numbered notification and movement form issued from the Environment Agency (EA) before movement of the waste. Organisations could also be subject to ‘green list controls’. These are the lowest level of control and only ever apply to some imports or exports of non-hazardous waste for recovery. Where these controls apply, organisations do not require EA permission before moving the waste, but they do have to comply with Waste Shipment Regulation, Article 18 controls. Under the regulations the EA and other public named bodies carry out regulatory duties to meet their statutory obligations. This includes ensuring that waste, which has been illegally exported or shipments which cannot be completed, can be repatriated back to the UK, preferably within the statutory 30-day timescale. Historically, the 30-day statutory requirement has never been enforced, with the EA and overseas authorities liaising to ensure the waste is repatriated as soon as practicable. Occasionally the EA have to manage repatriations and bear the cost, hence the need for a framework
