Mr. Bryan Davies

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if she will consider establishing a permanent system of financial assistance to overseas students suffering hardship as the result of political emergency in their home countries.

My colleagues and I are considering the present arrangements for assisting refugee students. Support for refugee students by my Department is running at nearly £5 million a year.
