Robert Halfon calls for new talks to stop the boycott continuing into the new academic year.

Mr Halfon wrote to UCU general secretary Dr Jo Grady on Friday ahead of that meeting, saying: "It is unacceptable that students, many of whom have already suffered significant disruption to their studies over recent years, face further disruption and uncertainty".

"Whatever the rights and wrongs of the current dispute, action that damages students' prospects is the wrong thing to do." She continued: "We've done everything possible to settle this dispute, protect UK degree standards and students' graduations, including calling for the talks to restart in the first place.
