HC Deb 27 January 1981 vol 997 c364W
Mr. Speller

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will take steps to give students from Hong Kong "home student" status similar to that enjoyed in France by the children from French dependent States or colonies.

Dr. Boyson

The Government recognise the case presented by Hong Kong and the other British dependent territories, but the cost of applying the home rate of fee these students would be of the order of £8 million per annum.
