Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what (a) discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Education on and (b) estimate she has made of the number of international students studying in the UK who are required to depart the UK to obtain a further student visa and who have been affected by the University and College Union marking and assessment boycott.

The marking boycott is the result of a dispute between education institutions and their employees. The impacts at individual institutions vary and it is not possible for the Home Office to estimate the number of students affected.
