Theresa May faces parliamentary investigation over flimsy basis for student deportations
Theresa May is to face a parliamentary investigation after an immigration tribunal ruled that the Home Office used unscientific “hearsay” to deport thousands of students from Britain.
More details
The Home Office revoked the licences of around 60 educational institutions across the country.
These led to the detention and removal of thousands of international students and migrants the Home Office claimed had obtained English certificates through fraud.
However, the Upper Tribunal heard that the Home Office’s evidence had “multiple frailties and shortcomings” and that Home Office witnesses had no scientific expertise in the voice recognition software at the heart of the fraud.
