Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 9 January 2017 to Question 58285, how many institutions failed their basic competence assessment but retained their licences after having had discretion applied in the period May 2010 to September 2016; and how many of those institutions were universities.

I am sorry but in order to obtain these figures a manual interrogation of Home Office databases would need to be undertaken, which would incur disproportionate costs.
