The Home Office has refused to rule out the possibility that it will implement a policy to restrict the number of international students coming into the country.
During a recent session in parliament, John McNally, the SNP MP for the Falkirk Constituency asked education minister Robert Halfon whether he could confirm on the record that the government would not introduce an “illogical policy” designed to restrict foreign students.
“International students, as we know, inject billions into our economy, bring huge value to our campuses and enrich our wider society.
“Therefore, can the minister confirm on the record that the government will not introduce an illogical policy designed to restrict foreign students?” McNally asked during the session.
