To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate her Department has made of the effect on the number of teaching assistants of the Government’s policy to consider for deportation after five years non-EU migrants earning less than £35,000 per annum.

The Department does not collect data on the nationality or immigration status of the school workforce.

This is a local matter for schools and all schools must employ members of the school workforce in accordance with employment law.
