Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential effect of ending the visa concession allowing international students to undertake distance or blended learning on recruitment for 2021-22.

Throughout the pandemic, the Government have introduced several concessions to support international students and their sponsors.

These concessions are kept under regular review and we are engaging with the education sector as to the ongoing impact of the global pandemic on their operations.
