Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the proportion is of (a) international students and (b) other migrants whose entry clearance visa or extension of stay has expired at the point at which they exit the UK.

Exit checks were introduced on 8 April 2015. My Department is considering the use of exit checks data for statistical reporting purposes and plans to publish an initial evaluation of the use of exit checks for this purpose on 26 May. Any data published then will be subject to data assurance standards.
