THERESA May is pondering a cut to students’ hefty loan interest rates to woo young voters, it emerged last night.

They pay more than six per cent — around double the inflation level.

The plans are “high up as a main option”, according to a Tory source who has talked through plans with No10.

Universities could also come under pressure to cut £9,000-a-year tuition fees which land youngsters with huge debts.

The changes could be unveiled within weeks — ahead of next month’s Tory party conference and the Autumn Budget.

Young voters flocked to Labour at June’s election after Jeremy Corbyn promised to axe fees.

A No10 spokesman said last night: “All policy is kept under review.”
