Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that the Government regulates commercial companies providing evidence required in immigration applications and that such companies are not open to corruption.

The Home Office has appointed an external auditor, Moore Stephens LLP, to
provide assurance of the enhanced processes it has introduced for the Secure English
Language Test providers, as well as of the controls built into Home Office
contractual and licence arrangements related to testing services upon which
immigration, citizenship or other entitlements rely.
