question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 10 October (HL Deb, col 106), what assessment they have made of the compatibility of their commitments (1) not to limit the number of genuine international students who come to the UK to study, and (2) to reduce net migration whilst including international students in their net migration target.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>There is no limit on the number of international students who can come to the UK and there are no plans to change this. So long as students are compliant with immigration rules they should make a very limited contribution to net migration numbers.</p><p>The independent Office for National Statistics is responsible for the production of the net migration statistics. In line with the internationally agreed UN definition these statistics define a migrant as someone changing their normal place of residence for more than a year. Students are therefore included in the same way as other migrants. International students who stay for longer than 12 months, like other migrants, have an impact on communities, infrastructure and services while they are here so it is right that they are included in the net migration count.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL3109 question first answered 17/11/2017 11:10:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of their enforcement of Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union which permits member states to remove EU citizens after three months if they are not exercising a treaty right to freedom of movement; whether they plan to change their enforcement of that article; and whether they have made any estimate of the impact that a stricter enforcement of that article would have on the number of EU citizens in the UK.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL3110
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2017 answer text <p>Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union guarantees the free movement rights of workers. The conditions a worker, or any other EU citizen or their family member, must satisfy in order to enjoy their rights of entry and residence in a host member state are set out in the Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC). If an EU citizen does not meet the requirements for residence as set out in the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2016, the UK’s implementing legislation, then they will not have a right to reside in the UK, and may be liable to removal. Removal is considered on a case by case basis.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 17/11/2017 11:13:58 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
