§ Mr. Cynog DafisTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what statutory provisions govern the responsibility of university authorities for damage done by students to student accommodation. [4311]
§ Mr. ForthNone. As independent bodies, universities are responsible for their own internal affairs. In the private rented sector landlords have recourse for damage caused by students through tenancy agreements and the legal system, as the would for any other renting accommodation.
