§ Mr. BeggsTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland whether a Scottish university student registered for community charge at his or her parents home in Scotland, is also required to register and pay community charge during the period of attendance at university at the address of his or her accommodation in Scotland.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonA full-time student in Scotland is not required to pay the personal community charge at more than one address at the same time. He or she is regarded, for community charge purposes, as being resident, and therefore liable for the personal community charge at the reduced rate of 20 per cent. of the full charge, at his or her term-time address for the duration of his or her course, including vacations.
