Student Visa Fees

EDM number 295 in 2005-06, proposed by David Howarth on 09/06/2005.

That this House regrets the decision of the Home Office and Foreign and Commonwealth Office to increase student visa fees by 136 per cent.; and calls on ministers to reconsider the decision in the light of its likely harmful effect on the ability of British universities to recruit overseas students and of the signal it sends to potential applicants who are deciding whether to come to the UK or to another country for their higher education.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
