Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many UK Border Agency-approved centres provide English language tests at level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference; and what consideration they have given to the cost and practical difficulties of Yemenis taking an English language test at that level as a result.
Answer

The UK Border Agency does not hold a list of all centres operated by its providers. However, the agency can say that there are many thousands of test centres. Two of our providers operate in the Yemen and others have said that they may be able to offer new centres if there is sufficient demand. This is currently being assessed.
