Lords ChamberThe Government’s resolution to deal with this problem is the one thing that I can assure the noble Countess of.
My Lords, is the Minister aware that at a recent Select Committee when the UK Border Agency was giving evidence, the members of that agency were completely incapable of giving accurate statistics on students, particularly regarding the courses and universities that they were attending? Do we not think that, rather than a ball-park figure, it would be appropriate to know exactly the quality of the students and which universities they are going to?
Indeed. I am sure that that information is available. The question is how it is collated.
