Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the effect of the UK's decision to leave the EU on student and staff numbers in the higher education sector.

EU students and staff make an important contribution to our world class Higher Education sector, and we want that to continue.

Any effects on student and staff numbers following the UK's exit from the EU will be considered as part of wider discussions about the UK's relationship with the EU.
