I will not keep the Minister long. As with the previous Department, I commend the work being done by his Department and people on the ground in further and higher education institutions to support people in the area of English language. It is obviously very important.

While it is not the same with respect to scale, Ukrainians are not the only refugees. I think of the people fleeing horrendous oppression in Afghanistan. Ukrainian students will not pay international fees and students supports will be provided to match the SUSI scheme. Will that also apply to Afghan refugees?
