Baroness Williams of Trafford
I hope that the British Government would encourage British students who decided to study in the EU or elsewhere to continue. I do not think that there is going to be any impediment to that.
Baroness Blackstone (Ind Lab)
Given that many EU students will no longer be eligible for fee loans and therefore will not be able to study here in the medium term, do the Government intend to restore Chevening scholarships for MA students? How much money will be put behind this and how many students are likely to benefit?
Baroness Williams of Trafford
The noble Baroness has asked me a very niche question to which I do not know the answer. I have never heard of a Chevening scholarship.
