Student Visas

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

The hon. Gentleman is quite right.

We can do three things to solve this problem. First, we must continue to come down hard on immigration fraud. The Government are right to deal robustly with those who abuse the student route. The fact that we have closed down more than 500 bogus colleges since the election shows how easy it has been to exploit the student visa system in recent years. If we want to carry the public with us, it is vital to maintain public confidence in the integrity of our immigration system.
