Requirements On Prospective English Language Students

EDM number 603 in 2010-12, proposed by Stephen Lloyd on 22/07/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Immigration and Students.

That this House disapproves of sections 17 and 18 of the Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules, HC 382, a copy of which was laid before this House on 22 July 2010 for implementation on 23 July 2010; and calls on the Government to bring forward rules which do not require prospective English language students to achieve B1 standard English before their studies, in recognition of the potential damage the proposed rules could do to this vital 1.5 billion industry.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
