Written Question
Universities: Advertising
Wednesday 9th July 2025

Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many UK universities that are registered with the Office for Students publish the (a) quantity and (b) type of contact hours for courses advertised to prospective students.

Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The Office for Students (OfS) does not routinely collect or publish data on the number of registered higher education providers that disclose the quantity and type of contact hours for courses advertised to prospective students.

However, all registered providers are expected to comply with consumer protection law, including providing clear and accurate information to students about their courses. The Competition and Markets Authority has issued guidance to support providers in meeting these obligations, which includes transparency around contact hours and modes of delivery. The OfS expects providers to have due regard to this guidance as part of their registration conditions.

Where students believe that information provided has been misleading or insufficient, they are encouraged to raise concerns through their provider’s complaints process and can escalate complaints to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education if necessary. Additionally, any students, staff or members of the public who feel a university is not meeting the OfS’ registration requirements may submit a notification to the OfS.

Written Question
Gender Based Violence: Criminal Proceedings
Tuesday 8th July 2025

Asked by: Andrew George (Liberal Democrat - St Ives)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking through the criminal justice system to help tackle violence against women and children.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

The scale of violence against women and girls in our country is intolerable and this Government is treating it as the national emergency that it is. The Government was elected with a landmark mission to halve violence against women and girls (VAWG) in a decade. We are aiming to publish our new, cross-government strategy later this year.

We will use a wide variety of tools to target perpetrators and tackle the root causes of abuse and violence. The Ministry of Justice has already taken action by:

  • Launching a pilot of Domestic Abuse Protection Orders in selected areas, to strengthen protections for victims by consolidating the strongest elements of existing protective measures into a single, flexible order.
  • Preparing for the introduction of free Independent Legal Advisors for victims of adult rape this year, to help victims understand and uphold their legal rights through the criminal justice process.
  • Introducing new criminal offences which capture creating sexually explicit deepfakes, and spiking.
  • Announcing family court reforms, such as expanding our Pathfinder programme in the family court, improving the experience of domestic abuse victims and their children at court.
  • Commissioning the Independent Review of Criminal Courts to improve court timeliness - including for victims of VAWG.
