English Language: Assessments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations the Home Office has received from Global Counsel in relation to online language testing firm Duolingo since July 2024.
Answered by Alex Norris
Prior to the Home Office English Language Testing programme publishing invitation to tender, five rounds of market engagement were conducted under non-disclosure agreements. However, there were opportunities for those who participated to share information that they wished for the Home Office to consider and ask Clarifying Questions. It would not be appropriate to disclose details of individual organisations' participation in a confidential market engagement process.
