Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it her policy to consult with (a) institutions supported by the Student premium customer service for sponsors and (b) hon. Members with institutions supported by the Student premium customer service for sponsors in their constituencies on the proposed disbanding of the premium customer services team.

The review of the charged service offering provided by the Study Premium Customer Service team was initiated in response to extensive feedback from educational institutions and sector representative bodies on the services available. We have commenced a programme of engagement on this matter with existing subscribers of the service and education sector groups including The UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA), Million Plus and Universities UK.
