Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2015. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Lesser-taught languages.

Lesser-taught languages

The hon. Gentleman is making a very important case. May I just tell him about the Shpresa project, which works in my area among families who came to the UK from Kosovo? Teaching people Albanian is a very important part of what it does. The young people are very keen that there should be a GCSE, as there is not one at the moment. The exam body has told them that raising £100,000 would enable a GCSE to be introduced. So far, they have raised £80,000.
