Written question asked by Lord Laird (Ulster Unionist Party), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord West of Spithead (Labour) on Tuesday, 12 January 2010.

Higher Education: Infonexus College

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government when Infonexus College London was accredited as a college of education; by which UK Border Agency accreditation agency; how many overseas students in the past three years have been granted visas to study there; from which countries; and what courses it offers that would not be available to those students in their home countries.

Answer: Infonexus College London was accredited by the Accreditation Service for International Colleges, ASIC, on 31 July 2009. Information pertaining to overseas students studying at individual colleges cannot be released as it is commercially sensitive and would also constitute a breach of our obligations under the Data Protection Act. The UK Border Agency does not hold information on courses that Infonexus College London offers that would not be available to those students in their home countries.
