Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate he has made of the number of non-EU students who have remained in the UK after completing their studies during the last five years.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply. What happens in terms of the migration system that will be established as we leave the EU is a matter that will be very closely scrutinised and looked at in great detail by the government and within the government.
