HC Deb 26 June 1980 vol 987 cc282-3W
Mr. McNamara

asked the Lord Privy Seal what representations he has received from the Government of Venezuela concerning the proposed increase in fees for overseas students; what reply he has sent: and what is his estimate of the fall of Venezuelan students in the United Kingdom that will result from the increase in fees.

Mr. Blaker

No representations on this subject have been received from the Government of Venezuela. It is expected that the number of Venezuelan students entering British universities may fall in 1980, but it is not possible to estimate the size of any reduction.
