Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the statement by the Home Secretary on 4 December (HC Deb cols 41–43), what are the specific components of the 300,000 per annum reduction in migration figure he provided, and whether this number refers to the future inflow of student migration or to the net inflow of migrants overall.

Analytical work has been undertaken across Government to support decision making in this process, and an Impact Assessment will be developed in due course.
