The UK government’s chief migration advisor on Friday said universities may go bankrupt if the government limits the number of foreign students.

It comes after Downing Street said Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is considering “all options” to control immigration, including “looking at the issue of student dependants and low-quality degrees,” as official data revealed record-high net migration in the year ending June 2022, with foreign students being one of the biggest driving forces.
