Conclusion
We are not persuaded that third-party certification alone would provide the transparency and accountability that we and the Hackitt report have previously recommended and still believe that details of test failures and re-run tests should also be made publicly available.
Paragraph Reference: 194
Government Response Acknowledged
HM Government Acknowledged
The Government agrees with the Committee that third-party certification alone is unlikely to provide the improvements in transparency and accountability that we also think are needed. The Government has announced an independent review into testing. The review will identify gaps and risks in the testing and certification system, and the Government will then consider how to respond to the findings.
