International Students And Net Migration Targets (EDM739)

International Students And Net Migration Targets

EDM number 739 in 2014-15, proposed by Paul Blomfield on 27/01/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education and Immigration.

That this House recognises the enormous cultural, academic and economic contribution that international students studying at UK universities make to the country; is concerned at the dramatic drop in students enrolling to study at UK universities from some of the UK's major international trading partners; believes that the public does not generally view international students to be migrants and does not wish to see their number reduced; and urges the Government to exclude university students from efforts to bear down on immigration including by removing university students from any target to reduce net migration.

This motion has been signed by a total of 90 MPs.
