[holding answer 24 March 2014]<\/p>

HM Government has not made any estimate of the number of illegal migrants currently employed in the UK. Given the clandestine nature of illegal migrants, any estimation is, by definition, extremely difficult and prone to considerable uncertainty.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, the Government takes illegal immigration very seriously and is focusing on measures to ensure that illegal migrants cannot live, work or abuse benefits and services in the UK. The Immigration Bill will prevent illegal migrants from accessing and abusing public services. It will also strengthen our existing arrangements to prevent illegal working, by making it easier to enforce penalties on employers found to be employing illegal workers; reform the removals and appeals system, making it simpler to remove those with no right to be in the UK; and end the abuse of Article 8 of the ECHR - the right to respect for private and family life. Parallel changes to secondary legislation will also double the maximum penalty for employing an illegal worker and strengthen the scheme as a whole, including by simplifying the checks employers must perform.<\/p>

A Tier 4 licence may be revoked if we find that a sponsor has not been complying with any, or all, of its sponsorship obligations and responsibilities.<\/p>

We will support the students who were not actively involved in the circumstances which led to the licence being revoked, by giving them up to 60 days to find a new course and sponsor.<\/p>

We will write to the above students at the contact address the student provided on their visa application. This will advise them that their permission to study in the UK has been curtailed.<\/p>

We are not able to offer students direct assistance on the issue of tuition fees. This is a commercial arrangement between the student and the college and is the subject of the refund policy of the college.<\/p>

Full detailed reasons why a licence may be revoked and how revocation affects sponsored students are set out in the Tier 4 Sponsor Guidance which can be found here:<\/p>

The scheme prioritises women and children at risk or in need of medical care, and survivors of torture and violence; given the particular vulnerability of these individuals, it has been essential to work with partners including UNHCR and local authorities to ensure that the support, services and accommodation they need are in place before they arrive in the UK.
