UK Borders Bill

The noble Lord, Lord Avebury, talked about students having to do 20 hours a week. I am not sure that I ever managed 20 hours a week, but that is another matter. More seriously, on the point made by my noble friend Lady Carnegy, the reports also referred to universities in England. One such university was Newcastle. A large number of students had applied to it and did not show up, and it looked very much like an immigration scam. If the Minister is not briefed on this, his department should be aware of it and should be aware of the allegations that have been made. He and the department should respond on whether this is happening. Certainly, it is a very serious allegation about what was happening in this field.
