Language Schools And The Points-Based System Tier 4 Review (EDM397)

Language Schools And The Points-Based System Tier 4 Review

EDM number 397 in 2009-10, proposed by Damian Green on 08/12/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Immigration and Students.

That this House is concerned that the proposals in the Home Office consultation regarding limiting Tier 4 student visas to only higher educational institutions would have serious consequences for genuine language schools; recognises the role English language schools play in local communities and economies; is extremely concerned about abuses of the student visa system for immigration purposes; and calls on the Government to crack down on bogus colleges and students, but opposes unnecessary restrictions on the applications of students to legitimate language schools.

This motion has been signed by a total of 65 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
