UNIVERSITIES have warned against government proposals to limit the number of relatives international students can bring to Britain.
Cabinet Office minister Nadhim Zahawi and Home Secretary Suella Braverman are said to be discussing plans to cut the number of dependants, including children, that international students can bring to Britain, according to reports.
Ms Braverman has previously suggested that the number of international students and dependants are too high and has accused families of “piggybacking” onto student visas.
