Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the answer of 24 March 2026 to Question 122166, whether she has had discussions with Five Eyes counterparts on maintaining high standards of security and integrity in English Language Testing arrangements.

The security and integrity of English Language Testing arrangements is a matter the Government takes very seriously and robust standards in this area are essential to maintaining the integrity of the immigration system.

We work closely with our Five Eyes counterparts across all service areas, including language testing, and value the insight provided by these interactions.

As there is a live procurement exercise currently under way, it would not be appropriate for the Home Office to comment further on the specific arrangements or any discussions that may inform them at this time.
