Leave to Remain response

Thanks to all the students' unions who responded to NUS call and wrote to the Home Office. Your response has been fantastic. A special mention to Cambridge University students' union who made their MP submit an Early Day Motion on the new charge.

If you have not already done so, you can still contact your MP about the issue.

Below is the final NUS' response to the increase to leave to remain charges. We have taken into account your views and arguments to articulate the final response.
