Text

I thank the Minister for her response. She will understand that, in rural constituencies, such as my South Down constituency, young people who are going to university anywhere have to look at arrangements for accommodation. I am really concerned that there is a perception out there that specific campuses — for example, Coleraine — might be adversely impacted. People are concerned about their accommodation and what they need to do. I am keen that there be some firm clarification for people as soon as possible, because we do not want to see areas such as Coleraine miss out on having a student population.
