Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Student Visas.


Student Visas

I thank my hon. Friend for her question. The answer is a very short one, because Labour did not make any progress in controlling migration, as we saw from the fact that it closed tier 3 of the points-based system, as though that would have some magic result for immigration, and all that happened was that the number of student visas went up instead.
