Proceeding contribution from Afzal Khan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 19 September 2023. It occurred during Backbench debate on Further and Higher Education Students: Cost of Living.
Further and Higher Education Students: Cost of Living
My constituent Elliot is starting his final year at university, and his biggest worry is securing affordable housing. The maximum loan he gets is not keeping up with the prices, and he spends at least two thirds of his loan on rent alone. His family cannot afford to top up his rent. Does my hon. Friend agree that dealing with such financial hardships can be a barrier to excelling at university and that much more financial support is needed to give students the freedom to focus on their education?
