Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to her oral statement of 19 March 2020, Official Report, column 1168, on Windrush Lessons Learned Review, what progress she has made on looking into the treatment of the overseas students falsely accused of cheating in English language tests; and if she will make a statement.

Shortly after the oral statement in March I met with the Rt Hon member and subsequently met with some of his constituents affected by this this issue.

During our meeting I explained the position we were taking on this subject.

I have recently asked my officials for further advice on the specific issue he raised around what leave is granted to those who are found not to have practiced deception, but who do not otherwise qualify for leave as a result of their Article 8 rights.

I will write to the Rt Hon member with a further update in due course.
