Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I asked my noble friend whether she would allow me to intervene briefly before she responded herself. I thank the Minister for what she said. She notionally quoted her colleague, the higher education Minister, in suggesting some of the things that we had said might not be strictly accurate. As we higher education Ministers must stand together, I think that in one respect the noble Baroness may have committed a fallacy, which he would not necessarily endorse. She argued that the number of international students was shrinking because people were staying in the universities of their country. That may well be true—I have no problem with that—but it does not ease the problem of our market share shrinking if it is doing so in a market which is itself already shrinking because people are staying at home.
