Proceeding contribution from Baroness Carnegy of Lour (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 18 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

It seems that large numbers of overseas students who apply to go to university are accepted and then never turn up. Does the Minister have any information on that? I saw it suggested—admittedly in the press—that those people are finding a way of coming into this country and then not going to university. Will the university have paid for them? One university talked about several hundred such people. Does the Minister know anything about that, or has he not been briefed on it?
