Launch a review into student finance maintenance loan thresholds

Review fairness of Vehicle Excise Duty
Government should review whether Vehicle Excise Duty remains fair and appropriate, given that local and regional authorities are changing the road space and access available for private vehicles through low-traffic neighbourhoods, bus gates/lanes, and expanded cycle lanes.
Review access to cash in rural areas, require FCA to reform rules and criteria
