<p>No action to refuse leave on the grounds of a questionable certificate was taken against anybody without first giving them the opportunity to re-sit their test with another provider or attend an interview with a Home Office official.</p><p>Whilst ETS notified the Home Office of 22,694 questionable UK test certificates, the actual number where it was relevant to require a fresh test and an interview with a Home Office official was much smaller. The exact information requested is not held centrally, and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p>
