question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her policy is on reconsidering the cases of people who had their leave to remain wrongly cancelled, or who were wrongly detained or removed, on the basis of allegations of fraud in English language tests made by ETS in response to the Upper Tribunal ruling in Qadir v Secretary of State, 23 March 2016.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2016 answer text <p>We received the determination in the case of Qadir and SM from Upper Tribunal on 8 April which provides the full reasons for the decision which were not included in the summary handed down on 23 March. Although the Upper Tribunal found that the Home Office did discharge the evidential burden on it in establishing fraud at ETS test centres and that each appellant would need to establish an innocent explanation, it went on to allow the appeals. We are disappointed by the decision and we are currently reviewing it with a view to challenging before the Court Of Appeal. Given this there are no current plans to reconsider earlier decisions.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/04/2016 14:17:29 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>The investigation into the abuse of English language testing in 2014 revealed extremely serious, large scale, organised fraud and it is right that the Home Office took decisive action in respect of those against whom there was evidence of cheating. We are disappointed by the decision of the Upper Tribunal and, once we have the full determination, we will consider our next steps carefully, including an appeal of this decision.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/04/2016 16:12:48 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
