the migration advisory committee today said that the visa route allowing foreign students to stay in the uk for two years after their studies should be retained in its present form. fortunately it's an advisory rather than a mandatory committee, so i urge the home office to reject the committee's finding the graduate visa was brought back in 2019 to attract talented students who would go on to earn high wages. it has failed to do so. 41% of graduate visa holders earn under £15,000 a year, a figure this committee admitted in its report. they are recruited from countries that are significantly poorer than the united kingdom, with 70% coming from the four nafions with 70% coming from the four nations of india, pakistan , nations of india, pakistan, china and nigeria. the total number of graduate visa holders and their dependents contribute about 10% of total uk net migration and net migration has to come down. but 1 migration and net migration has to come down. but1 in migration and net migration has to come down. but 1 in 60 people in this country arrived within the last 12 months, a
