Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what additional information she received between March 2014 and 24 June 2014 which led to her suspending the highly trusted status immigration licence owned by the Glyndwr University on the latter date.

Between March and June 2014 the Home Office identified a number of issues which led to the suspension of Glyndwr University’s sponsor licence on 24 June.

Information was provided from ETS that a significant number of students sponsored by the University had English language test certificates that were invalid due to cheating. A subsequent audit of the University identified a number of further concerns. The University was suspended as a temporary measure to allow the Home Office to conduct further investigations into its ability to fulfil its sponsorship duties .
