Overseas Students: Gaza

Asked by Siân BerryGreen PartyHome OfficeTabled Answered 16 September 2025UIN 74878

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish guidance to Hon. Members on how students in Gaza who are eligible for support to come to the UK can access this support; and if she will provide a dedicated communication pathway for Hon. Members to find out whether an eligible student is on the list of those to be provided with that help.

Answered by Mike Tapp

I refer the Honourable Member to the Home Secretary’s oral statement to the House on 1 September 2025 on strengthening border security and reforms to the asylum system. Further details will be set out in due course.

Members can continue to contact the Home Office via Ministers and the Direct Communications Unit. Further detail can be found on the Home Office GOV.UK website.
