Green: Student visas should be temporary route

Immigration minister Damian Green commented on the home affairs select committee report on student visas:

“This government recognises the important contribution that international students make to the UK economy, but the old student visa regime neither controlled immigration nor protected legitimate students from being exploited by poor quality colleges.

“We want to re-focus the student visa system as a temporary route and one that is not open to abuse.”
