Proceeding contribution from Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on Immigration.


Immigration

I am afraid that the hon. Member for Bradford East (Mr Ward) is incorrect. There is evidence to suggest that. The Minister acknowledged in a Westminster Hall debate earlier this year that children without English as their first language are 19% less likely to succeed in key stage 2 SATs. That is an important issue, particularly for primary schools.
