The government have finally confirmed they will allow university students to return to their family homes in Southport this Christmas regardless of any local lockdown.

Education Secretary Gavin Williamson has said however that some students may have to self-isolate at the end of term.

Speaking to the Commons, Mr Williamson said: “I know there has been some anxiety about the impact safety measures will have on the Christmas holidays.

“We are going to work with universities to make sure that all students are supported to return home safely and spend Christmas with their loved ones if they choose to do so.”
