HL Deb 27 November 1979 vol 403 cc390-1WA
Lord AVEBURY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether, under the new Rules, the wives of overseas students already given leave to enter employment in the United Kingdom will be able to renew their leave to remain without restrictions on employment.

Lord BELSTEAD

The Government will be prepared to consider on the basis of the present Rules applications for further stay from students' wives who were admitted before the new Rules take effect. Any extensions granted in those circumstances would continue to be without restriction on the wife's employment.
