Oral Answers to Questions

Chris Kane Excerpts

Tuesday 1st April 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Order. Topical questions must be kept short, otherwise there will be many disappointed colleagues.

[Chris Kane (Stirling and Strathallan) (Lab)]

T6. Given the recent decline in the number of international students coming to the UK, what measures is the Minister taking, along with colleagues from other Departments, to ensure that universities such as Stirling, which have long benefited from diverse international student populations, remain attractive and accessible to prospective students from abroad?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs (Catherine West)]

Our strong knowledge economy is one of our best exports, and each Minister on the Front Bench makes sure to promote learning in the UK and learning in people’s home cities, when our universities have a presence, and we will continue to do so.
