Government were prepared to encourage and cooperate with the Overseas Students Trust in the further work that it was thinking
of embarking upon with a view to drawing up options for policy towards overseas students. (Official Report, 20 May 1981,

Students' was published on 6 June 1982 and was welcomed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary in a statement in the House
of Commons on 9 June 1982 (Official Report, 11 June 1982,
Cols 142-143, Vol 25).

the Overseas Students Trust's Study, including the measures
outlined in the statement. (Official Report, 8 February 1983,
