Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has received evidence that sessions of Toeic tests administered by ETS before 2014 included both genuine and fraudulent entries.

As previously set out to the Home Affairs Select Committee (HASC), where ETS analysis found no direct evidence of cheating but they could not be confident in the test result because of the large number of confirmed invalid results at the same test centre, a test result would be deemed “questionable”.

Nobody with a questionable test certificate should have action taken against them on this basis without first being given the chance to re-sit a test and attend an interview.
