REQUIREMENTS ON PROSPECTIVE ENGLISH LANGUAGE STUDENTS

Early day motion 603, tabled 22 July 2010 by Stephen Lloyd (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 25 members.

That this House disapproves of sections 17 and 18 of the Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules, HC 382, a copy of which was laid before this House on 22 July 2010 for implementation on 23 July 2010; and calls on the Government to bring forward rules which do not require prospective English language students to achieve B1 standard English before their studies, in recognition of the potential damage the proposed rules could do to this vital 1.5 billion industry.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 12, Conservative 6, Labour 5, Green 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
