International Higher Education Students

Debate between Lord Storey and Lord Morgan

Tuesday 21st March 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Storey (LD)]

My Lords—

[Lord Morgan (Lab)]

My Lords, is it not lamentable—

[Lord Storey (LD)]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that we should have a diverse international student population in our universities, and is she not concerned that, of the 590,000 non-EU students, those from China, India and Nigeria dominate? Is she concerned about the 120,000 Chinese students and maybe their effect on security?
