answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2023 answer text <p>The estimate of £3.36 per dose was the best available at the time the statistics on vaccine donations were compiled, as the overall cost to Astrazeneca of developing the vaccinations had not been finalised. Only when all Astrazeneca's expenditures have been taken into account can the final price per dose be reconciled to ensure, as per the contract, that there is no profit and no loss. This reconciliation has now started with the aim to finalise the cost per dose by the end of the 2022/2023 financial year. We will update the final price per date in line with the revisions policy (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1021440/FCDO-Revisions-Policy.pdf).</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 12/01/2023 16:24:37 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

They must be in the UK at the time of their application and have existing valid permission as a student. Student permission already includes post study period of up to 4 months from end date of course. The length of the post study period is determined by the duration and level of study.</p><p>These requirements determine the window of opportunity for making a successful Graduate application. The Graduate route provides an opportunity for international students who have been awarded their degree to stay in the UK and work, or look for work, at any skill level for 2 years, or 3 years for doctoral students, therefore only those with valid Student permission who are in the UK at the time of application are eligible. Exceptional circumstances which prevent someone from meeting these requirements will be considered by decision making teams on a case by case basis.</p><p>Though we have no current plans to alter these requirements, the Government keeps all immigration routes under review.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 16/01/2023 17:32:32 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
