§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment whether students normally resident in Northern Ireland but who spend approximately nine months of term time attending university in England, Scotland or Wales are required to pay community charge for July, August and September, when residing in their parents' homes in Northern Ireland.
§ Mr. KeyFull-time students in England, Scotland and Wales are treated as having their sole or main residence at the place where they are resident for the purpose of undertaking the course. They are therefore liable to pay the community charge at their term time address from the day the course commences until the day it ceases, including vacations.
