A-Level results row: What happens now?

Hundreds of thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland have received their A-Level and vocational qualification results, after the exams were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic

Labour has called on ministers to act immediately to sort out an "exams fiasco" in England and stop thousands of students being "betrayed".
