Salmond protests visa fees
At last! The SNP have joined protests against the exorbitant visa fees for foreign students (see also 26 October and 8 February).
As Alex Salmond points out, the fees contradict the official ‘Fresh Talent’ policy of encouraging students to stay on in Scotland after their course have finished.
The SNP site also gives some useful figures for the number of foreign students at Scottish Universities: the total is about 7,200.
