Boris Johnson: Cutting the number of foreign students will harm the UK

A reduction in the number of foreign students coming to study in the UK is harming the economy, Boris Johnson has warned. The Mayor of London hit out at Government’s tightening of visa controls for students after it was disclosed that there was a 22 per cent decrease in the number of foreign students last year. His intervention will anger ministers including Mark Harper, a Home Office minister, who last week welcomed a dramatic fall in net migration.
