Student Visas

Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 June 2013. It occurred during Backbench debate on Student Visas.

I congratulate the Chairman of the Select Committee on this very good report. It meshes well with the Higher Education Commission report on post-graduate education, which he will know of. What is good about his report is that it flags up in a sensible way the problems of migration and bogus colleges, but points out strongly that, within this international market and this great employment and wealth creator, the universities of this country and post-graduate education in particular are sensitive to the possible reaction of legitimate students—highly qualified people—who come here.
