Lord Lexden – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Lexden on 2016-09-09.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the challenges that educational institutions face as a result of the points-based Tier 4 of the visa arrangements for overseas students.

Baroness Williams of Trafford

International students make an important contribution during their time here, and they help make our education system one of the best in the world. The UK remains the second most popular destination in the world for international higher education students and we want to continue to attract the brightest and best to study at our world-leading institutions.
