HC Deb 11 January 1993 vol 216 cc562-3W
Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what complaints have been received from United Kingdom students now studying in Russia; and what action has been taken by the British embassy.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

In May 1992, during a routine visit by the student liaison officer of the British embassy in Moscow, British students studying at Voronezh state university complained about poor conditions at their hostel. Representations were duly made to the university in May, and again in September by the student liaison officer.

The student liaison officer next visited the university on 9 December 1992, accompanied by the embassy doctor. The doctor judged that the repairs satisfied the minimum requirements for student accommodation.
