Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill 2005-06.


Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

Entirely in support of that proposition, may I tell the hon. Lady something that is not theory, but a real experience that many hon. Members have had to deal with for their own constituents and others? I know of someone from Latin America who did a masters degree for a year, finished in the summer and graduated in December, but was required to go back with all the additional expense entailed. In the meantime they were being encouraged to apply for both jobs and further academic opportunities, but they could not do that if they were not in this country, so their whole career was put in jeopardy because of the imposition of that requirement.
