Proceeding contribution from Andrew Love (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 March 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on London’s Economy.

London’s Economy

I am listening carefully to the cogent argument that the hon. Gentleman is making on behalf of London. Are not the significantly increased costs in London one of the other considerations in respect of students and lecturers in higher and further education? I think particularly of housing costs. I have been involved with a research student, now reaching 30, who has a doctorate and significant experience behind her. Yet she cannot even get on to the lowest rung of the housing ladder in London. Is that not a common problem across the capital?
