question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is her Departments policy to include student numbers in official migration statistics.
tabling member constituency	Hornsey and Wood Green
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
