Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress the Office of National Statistics has made in understanding non-EU student arrivals and departures in order to track the progress of student cohorts through the immigration system, as outlined in its January 2016 report <i>Population Briefing, International Student Migration</i><i>- what do the statistics tell</i><i>us?</i>

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the Authority to reply.
