answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2018 answer text <p>The Government welcomes the contribution that international students make to the UK economy. We recognise that international students enhance our educational institutions both financially and culturally; enrich the experience of domestic students; and become important ambassadors for the United Kingdom in later life. The Government has recently commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee to undertake a study into the costs and benefits of international students.</p><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.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/01/2018 12:16:30 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
