HC Deb 22 March 1962 vol 656 c71W
Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary for Technical Co-operation whether he will set up special machinery to deal with the economic and social needs of unsponsored students coming to this country from overseas.

Mr. Vosper

The British Council provides welfare services for allbona fide overseas students in Britain and offers certain additional services to students who are recommended or sponsored by their own Governments. It is an advantage for students to have such recommendation which can be obtained either in their own countries or in Britain and I accept the view of the Departments concerned and of the Council that it would be inappropriate to provide special machinery for dealing with unsponsored students.
