Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment with Cabinet colleagues of the potential merits of introducing a specific offence for the sale of stolen exam board papers.

Ofqual, the independent regulator for qualifications, exams and assessments in England, are clear in their guidance issued to schools, colleges and students about the importance of exam security and the repercussions of committing any form of malpractice.

In addition to this, depending on the specific circumstances, individuals could be charged by the police under existing legislation.
