HC Deb 12 May 1977 vol 931 c564W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if she is satisfied with the current level of foreign students at British universities.

Mr. Oakes

The admission of overseas students is a matter for individual universities. The number of such students in universities and other institutions of higher education and further education has increased considerably in recent years, and I am considering, in consultation with the University Grants Committee and local education authorities, the practical aspects of some kind of limitation.
