To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what estimate her Department has made of the number of foreign nationals on student visas who worked more than the permitted 20 hours during term time in the last 12 months. (199858)

Refusals of applications for variations of leave on this basis are not receded separately to refusals for other reasons and therefore cannot be identified, except at a disproportionate cost.
