British Nationality: Assessments

Asked by Blake StephensonConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 3 September 2026UIN 23486

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 3 July 2026 to Question 12892, what criteria her Department will use to determine whether alternative delivery models for the Life in the UK test are sufficiently secure; and whether the same criteria have been applied to the Home Office English Language Test.

Answered by Home Office

Any Home Office delivery model must meet appropriate integrity requirements and principles, including data security, cyber security, accessibility, and fraud risk and prevention, to ensure compliance with Home Office policy and to ensure that the service delivers the fundamental principles underpinning our immigration policies and visa journey. This applies to all Home Office delivery models, including the Home Office English Language Test and Life in the UK Test.
