Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential implications for her policies of findings from high-stakes test providers that have removed or restricted remote testing on security and integrity grounds.

The Home Office continues to monitor evidence from national and international comparators, and from other government contexts where digital identity and remote service delivery have been considered or in use. Any departmental delivery model must meet appropriate integrity requirements and principles including data security, cyber security, accessibility, fraud risk and prevention to ensure compliance with Home Office Policy and ensure that the service delivers the fundamental principles underpinning our Immigration policies and our visa journey.
