Protecting our colleges

First, the positive development. Commonwealth College in Glasgow, one of the spurious so-called institutions exposed by The Herald recently, has been removed from a Westminster government register. As a result, it should no longer be able to recruit students from abroad. This has a double benefit. Students should no longer be exposed to fraud by paying for courses that do not exist. In addition, there will be one place fewer where an immigration scam with security implications can operate (it is easier to obtain a visa for Britain by signing up online for a "college" on the register).
