After the United Kingdom's reforms in visa rules for postgraduate students, UK-India Business Council (UKIBC) Chief Richard Mccullum said he is "disappointed by restrictions but it won't affect the majority of Indian Students in the UK,". UK Home Secretary in a written statement to the House of Commons, said that only international students on postgraduate courses currently designated as research programmes will be allowed to bring in their family members, including children and elderly parents, as their dependants.
