Baroness Fox of Buckley (Non-Afl)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

I want to clarify, in case there was any confusion, that I have worked with and have great admiration for many Chinese students in this country. My contribution was not an attempt, in any way, at smearing them. That is not to say that there is not an abuse of the system in some instances. I was querying whether we should be attentive to that, because the students are betrayed when they are not given proper education in this country and are used in a particular way for political ends. That does not mean, at all, that all Chinese students are doing that.
