Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 September 2025

Debate

Indefinite Leave to Remain

Contribution

On the reasonable point about English language, the bar has been raised, as the Minister has set out. Is the Minister content that there are sufficient resources devoted to the teaching of the English language? That will be a charge that is put to us if we make that demand but do not put in the resources to match.
