HC Deb 13 April 1981 vol 3 cc44-5W
Dr. Roger Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in the Official Report the percentage increase over 1980–81 in the actual figure for the board, residence and maintenance charges to new foreign students to be resident in voluntary colleges of higher education for the session 1981–82.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

It is the policy that overseas students should pay the economic cost of the services concerned. Individual colleges adjust their charges in the light of price movements so as to maintain levels in real terms.
