HC Deb 08 March 1976 vol 907 c51W
Mr. Robert Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many students who have come to (he United Kingdom as a result of British Council scholarships have subsequently been granted permission to remain here.

Mr. Ennals

My right hon. Friend the Home Secretary does not maintain separate statistics on the numbers of students who have come to the United Kingdom as a result of British Council scholarships and who have subsequently been granted permission to remain here. The British Council, however, make it a condition of its scholarship awards that prospective scholars should undertake, in writing, to return to their own countries on completion of their scholarships.
