Autumn Statement

Proceeding contribution from Lord Tyrie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2016. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Statement.

I congratulate the Chancellor on delivering a crucial statement for the country. It was a Budget in all but name, and I strongly support his decision to make it the first of many autumn Budgets. That is something for which a number of us on the Treasury Committee have been pressing for a while.

The statement will provide reassurance and certainty for the whole country. Given that the education sector creates export earnings of £20 billion—about the same as the car manufacturing sector—will the Chancellor soon be able to provide our colleges and universities with the certainty and reassurance they need that foreign students will not be caught by the 100,000 migration target?
