Immigration minister: London Met 'seriously breached' visa licence
The London Metropolitan University had "seriously breached" their visa licence privileges, the immigration minister Damian Green told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.
Mr Green said: "London Met was seriously deficient as a sponsor and could not remain in this way."
He added that the university had "failed" in three major areas of their 'Highly Trusted Status' including that more than a quarter of students did not have "leave of remain".
