More questions will be asked by politicans this week about the situation surrounding students studying in the UK.

Arbory, Castletown & Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse has several queries to put to Education Minister, Dr Alex Allinson MHK, in the House of Keys sitting taking place tomorrow.

Mr Moorhouse will ask what communication the minister has made to universities which are refusing to reduce the amount students have to pay for accommodation.

He'll also ask Dr Allinson what personal and financial challenges those studying in Britain are currently facing.
