| I assured several worried parents that the collection of pupil nationality data was simply for Department for Education research purposes. It wasn’t. The mandatory data request was not fully explained to schools. It now appears to have been a murky compromise with a Home Office plan to tackle illegal immigration (May wanted to ‘deprioritise’ school places for children of people illegally in UK, theguardian.com, 1 December).
