As the Deputy will be aware, a general review of the immigration regime for non-EEA students is underway at present. Following publication of a discussion paper on 1 September 2009 and a public consultation process, an Interdepartmental Committee chaired by my Department has been drawing up final recommendations. I expect to receive the Committee's report shortly. The discussion paper had indicated that a separate exercise over a longer timeframe would be carried out by this Committee in relation to the student work concession. When I have received the Committee's report on the overall reform of student immigration and reviewed its recommendations I will consider further when the Committee should carry out its review of the work concession.
