Mr. Dunnachie
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on student accommodation in Scottish universities.
Mr. Alan Howarth
The provision of accommodation for students in universities is a matter for the institutions themselves. Universities are autonomous and therefore responsible for deciding their own funding priorities within the total resources at their disposal. I pay tribute to the efforts made by university accommodation services to help students find suitable accommodation.
