Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the White Paper entitled The UK’s future skills-based immigration system, published in December 2018, what additional funding his Department plans to make available to support their English language strategy beyond the current English Language Co-ordination Fund; and on what basis those funds will be allocated.

Answer

As part of the government’s response to the Integrated Communities Strategy green paper, the government has committed to developing a new strategy for English for speakers of other languages in 2019.

We are currently in the process of developing the strategy. Funding for all programmes beyond 2019/20, including any potential funding for this strategy, if needed, will be set during the upcoming Spending Review, which we expect to take place later this year.
