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 referred in my statement to students who stay on and move from course to course but I had not got as far as those who deliberately, as my hon. Friend suggests, fail their exams. There will be a time limit on how long someone can stay in the UK—three years for a below degree-level course. The limit will be extended for postgraduate studies and to accommodate those who are doing medicine and longer courses, but there will be a limit on the number of times that someone can try that ruse.
