Immigration: Overseas Students
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the White Paper Restoring control over the immigration system, published on 12 May, whether they will carry out an impact assessment for the levy on international student fees.
- Answer
-
The Immigration White Paper sets out a series of measures that will achieve a reduction in net migration, while maintaining the UK’s globally competitive offer to international students and making a significant contribution to growth by boosting our skills base.
The White Paper includes the commitment to explore the introduction of a levy on higher education (HE) provider income from international students. We will set out further details in due course, including setting out the way in which proceeds from the levy would be reinvested into our HE and skills system.
