UNIVERSITY ACCOMMODATION

Early day motion 459, tabled 21 January 2004 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 50 members.

That this House believes that, while there are good examples of university and college-owned and managed accommodation, nevertheless thousands of students experience hazardous living conditions which adversely affect their health and studies; calls for the inclusion of university and college-owned and managed accommodation within the definition of Houses in Multiple Occupation in the Housing Bill; and supports the campaign by the National Union of Students to ensure the protection of students living both in halls of residence and in the private rented sector.
