Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms

Contribution

My Lords, it appears that EU officials are demanding that EU students pay home fees rather than international fees in order to benefit from a UK university education under a new youth mobility scheme. This was not in the framework signed last year. It may cost our universities up to £140 million annually. Surely it is our students who deserve help. Will the Minister rule out international students paying domestic fees?
