Commenting on the Government’s response to the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee report on student migration which confirms it will continue to include students in the net migration figures, Libby Hackett said:
“This is sending conflicting and confusing messages following the Prime Minister’s constructive trip to India last week. It is hard to reconcile this position with David Cameron saying, “Britain’s an open economy.”
“It is essential in the current financial climate that immigration regulations do not impede economic growth.
