HC Deb 02 December 1976 vol 921 c227W
Mr. Farr

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what steps she is taking to improve the availability of accommodation for students.

Mr. Oakes

The university and further education building programmes for 1976–77 include some provision for student accommodation, but residential projects have to compete with teaching and other types of accommodation for a share of the limited resources available. It is expected that the 1977–78 programmes will also contain a small amount of residential accommodation.
