Entry Clearances: Overseas Students

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what number of non-EU domiciled students obtained work visas at the end of their studies in (1) 2014, and (2) 2015.

Answer

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.

Immigrants who have come to the UK to work have brought significant benefits to Britain – we are a tolerant, welcoming nation encouraging the brightest and best to come to our shores. That will always be the case.

But it’s clear that there is no consent in Britain for uncontrolled migration from Europe.
