Visas: English Language
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of the introduction of Secure English Language Test on (a) international students, (b) research students and (c) skilled workers.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
Secure English Language testing is already in place via commercial arrangements that underpin the policy requirements. The commercial arrangements, and those being considered for the future, will not negatively impact our customers but continue to support the visa application process. As part of both our business-as-usual management of services and any future arrangements, global test centre coverage is a key consideration and we will continue to ensure that test centres have good availability for our customers.
