Managed Migration
Mr. Drew:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) pursuant to the Home Secretary's written statement of 22 April 2004, on managed migration, whether publicly funded institutions will have to become accredited in order for the Home Office to approve visa applications for their students; [169140]

(2) pursuant to the Home Secretary's written statement of 22 April 2004 on Managed Migration, Official Report, column 23WS, whether publicly-funded institutions will have to become accredited in order for the Home Office to approve visa applications for their students. [169160]
Mr. Charles Clarke:
Approval for leave to study will be based on a list we are putting together of institutions we know are offering genuine educational opportunities. This will, of course, include publicly funded higher and further education institutions.
In addition to this there are a number of private English language schools already accredited by the British Council who will automatically be registered.
Other private colleges offering genuine educational opportunities will have nothing to fear and will be included in the list following an accreditation process.
27 Apr 2004 : Column 978W
The new measures announced are specifically targeted at those organisations intent on getting around the visa regulations and not to damage genuine providers of good quality education. The Home Office is undertaking an intensive round of inspections of colleges where there are suspicions. Visa issue will be put on hold in respect of these until the checks have been made.
Religious Schools
Mr. Collins:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills (1) how many schools of a religious nature there are, broken down by (a) local education authority and (b) religious affiliation; [167579]
(2) how many Church of England schools there are, broken down by local education authority. [167580]
Mr. Miliband:
