tabling member printed	Catherine West
uin	2807
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>International students are included in net migration statistics that are produced by the independent Office for National Statistics (ONS). 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. Other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia also include students in their net migration figures. Like other migrants, students who stay for longer than 12 months 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><p> </p><p>There is no limit to the number of genuine international students who can come to study in the United Kingdom and there are no plans to change this.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 10/07/2017 13:09:43 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

uin	2805
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2017 answer text <p>The UK will remain an open and tolerant country; one that recognises the valuable contribution migrants make to our society and welcomes those with the skills and expertise to make our nation better. We will control immigration so that our system serves the national interest.</p><p> </p><p>As we conduct the negotiations to leave the European Union, it must be a priority to regain more control of the numbers of people who come here from Europe. We are considering the options for our future immigration system very carefully. We will build a comprehensive picture of the needs and interests of all parts of the UK and look to develop a system which works for all.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will not solely rely on the Brexit negotiation to deliver the net migration target. We have introduced a wide range of measures in the Immigration Acts 2014 and 2016 to remove the ability of illegal immigrants to remain in the UK in defiance of our immigration laws. We have also clamped down on abuse of student migration – closing over 900 bogus colleges. We have closed Tier 1 routes which allowed non-EEA migrants to come to the UK to look for work, and reformed the employer-led Tier 2 route following expert advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee. Through the introduction of the Immigration Skills Charge, we are encouraging employers to invest in training and up-skilling the resident workforce.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 10/07/2017 10:24:13 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
