Review Of Student Visas

EDM number 647 in 2009-10, proposed by David Lepper on 19/01/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Immigration and Students.

That this House welcomes the Prime Minister's assurance in his speech on Education as a global growth industry on 14 January 2010 that all students who came to the UK legitimately would be made welcome, because the Government was not prepared to put legitimate colleges out of business or set back efforts to expand educational trade; and calls on the Secretaries of State for the Home Department and for Business, Innovation and Skills to ensure that any recommendations for change to the student visa system made following the review which began in November 2009 support rather than damage existing legitimate courses and the properly accredited and registered schools and colleges offering them.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
