Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 April 2025

Debate

Universities: Funding and Employment

Contribution

I am asking the Government to look into this whole scenario very carefully, because it is impacting staff, students and future generations. Higher education in the UK is at a crossroads. We have a choice: continue down this path of a boom-and-bust approach, cutting jobs and course offerings, or make the necessary investment to secure our universities as pillars of innovation, growth and opportunity. I urge the Government to take immediate action to address the crisis, consider a sustainable funding model, look at capping the numbers for a fairer distribution of students, and look again at student visas, to save our universities. They must ensure that higher education remains a vibrant and accessible resource for future generations.
