Finally, Amendment 46 in my name probes the Government’s definition of student and why they have chosen to exclude apprenticeships, for instance. Similarly to university students, a fixed-term tenancy could be set to match the duration of an apprenticeship and provide stability for the full length of their training. What is more, should it not be considered only fair that landlords have access to the same means of possession for apprentices as they do for university students? This amendment seeks to probe why those on an alternative education plan will be excluded from a definition that could bring them significant benefits through exemptions to specific restrictions.
