On 20 July I hosted a roundtable meeting with my right hon. Friend the Minister of State for Borders and Immigration and a group of university vice chancellors to discuss migration issues and higher education, including student visas. As a result of that meeting UKBA stepped up their preparations for dealing with the summer surge of applications from international students.
