Written Question
Overseas Students: Deportation
Thursday 5th March 2015

Asked by: Mike Hancock (Independent - Portsmouth South)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign students at schools and colleges that have lost their right to sponsor such students were removed from the UK in each of the last four years.

Answered by James Brokenshire

Immigration removal statistics do not capture the category in which those
removed originally came to the UK. Since 2010, UK Visas and Immigration have
removed more than 860 education institutions from the register of those
licensed to recruit international students to the UK. Students whose sponsors’
licence has been revoked must find a new licensed sponsor or leave the UK
within 60 days of notification.


Written Question
Overseas Students: Deportation
Thursday 5th March 2015

Asked by: Mike Hancock (Independent - Portsmouth South)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many schools and colleges that have had their right to sponsor overseas students removed have been subject to criminal proceedings in each of the last four years.

Answered by James Brokenshire

The information requested is not recorded in this way.

Immigration Enforcement prosecutes individuals rather than schools
and companies who have had their right to sponsor overseas students
removed.

It would be a disproportionate cost to disaggregate information on the number
of individuals prosecuted for this offence from all of those prosecuted.
