answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/04/2014 answer text <p>The Home Office published an impact assessment on its website on the 11 October 2013 entitled ‘Regulating migrant access to health services in the UK', in which it estimates the impact of implementing a health surcharge as outlined in the Immigration Bill. The Home Office predicts that implementing a health surcharge could cause Tier 4 visa grants to fall by approximately 830, which will have an impact on higher education providers of approximately £11 million per year. The surcharge is £200 per annum for most migrants however, to reflect their contribution to UK growth, a concession was factored into the Immigration Bill for students - they will pay £150 per annum rather than the full cost.</p><p> </p><p>BIS will continue to work closely with the Home Office and the higher education sector to monitor the effects of the surcharge on student numbers and to ensure that the impact is manageable.</p> answering member constituency Havant answering member printed Mr David Willetts question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 53 label Biography information for Lord Willetts

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2023 answer text <p>African countries are amongst the least responsible for causing climate change, yet it is having a devastating impact. The UK is committed to working with African partners to drive long-term climate action; I discussed climate change when I visited Egypt in May 2023 for meetings of the African Development Bank. We will continue to work closely with the African Union Commission and Government of Kenya as Africa Climate Action Summit co-hosts and engage other partners in the run-up to and at the Summit itself.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell grouped question UIN 194277 194279 194280 194282 194283 194285 194287 question first answered 20/07/2023 11:48:18 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
