Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Hannay of Chiswick (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Triesman (Labour) on Monday, 17 October 2005.


International Students: Visa Charges

Question
Whether they will review the impact of the new charges for visas on the numbers of overseas university students coming to the United Kingdom.
Answer

My Lords, we are working closely with the education sector through the Joint Education Task Force on the whole range of visa issues, including fee levels. It is not currently possible to disaggregate any effect of the fee increase from other numerous and complex factors that influence an overseas student’s decision on where to study.
