Proceeding contribution from Julian Huppert (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Student Visas.


Student Visas

I declare an interest as a member of the university of Cambridge, one of the three excellent universities in my constituency. I welcome the changes that the Home Secretary has announced, because the original proposals in the consultation would have caused a great deal of harm to much of our education industry. I was interested to hear what she said about student entrepreneurs. How will that system operate? Will it form part of the post-study work system, and will it apply only to new applicants? Will we be telling students who came here expecting a particular set of post-study work rules that they will be changed while they are in the middle of their studies?
