The claim that "young people are dying at university through suicide" is clearly supported by official statistics. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) published data showing that between August 2016 and July 2023, there were 1,108 suicides among higher education students in England and Wales, averaging approximately 160 per year. In the most recent academic year covered (ending July 2023), there were 155 confirmed suicides among HE students. The median age at death was 23 years. The MP's specific figure of "about 160 university students commit suicide" per year is directly corroborated by this ONS publication. Additionally, a national review commissioned by the Department for Education found 107 suspected suicide deaths among HE students in the 2023–2024 academic year alone, further confirming the ongoing nature of this problem. The claim is factual, accurate, and supported by primary official sources. No important qualifications are missing — the data covers England and Wales (which is the expected context for a UK parliamentary speech), and the figures align precisely with what was stated.
