Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Clive Lewis and Robert Halfon

Monday 27th February 2023 Commons Chamber

[Clive Lewis (Norwich South) (Lab)]

Is the Secretary of State and her Department aware of the severe financial crisis engulfing the University of East Anglia, one so severe that the vice-chancellor has today resigned? This will have a dramatic impact on the regional economy. We could be looking at up to £45 million-worth of projected debt and 30% job losses. As such, will the Secretary of State or the Minister agree to meet me and a delegation from the University of East Anglia to discuss this most critical issue as soon as possible?

[Robert Halfon]

Yes, I would be very happy to meet the hon. Gentleman sooner rather than later.
