University Students: Compensation for Lost Teaching and Rent

Lord Haskel Excerpts

Monday 19th April 2021 Lords Chamber

[Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay (Con)]

I must disagree with the noble Baroness. The Office for National Statistics estimates that 23% of students are yet to return to their term-time accommodation, which leaves up to half a million students yet to travel. Throughout the pandemic, the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies has warned of the risk posed by mass movements; that is what underpins our cautious approach.

[The Deputy Speaker (Lord Haskel) (Lab)]

My Lords, the time allowed for this Question has elapsed.
