Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Paddick (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Tuesday, 10 May 2016.
Immigration: Public Services
- Question
-
My Lords, that is all very well, but clearly, as the noble Lord, Lord Harris of Haringey, said, it is not sufficient. Can the Minister tell the House why the Government are not building more new hospitals, schools and houses, using the additional income they are receiving from foreign workers, who are paying significant sums in income tax and national insurance?
- Answer
-
As I stated a moment ago, very considerable sums are being expended in these areas. Indeed, we expect to deliver 600,000 new school places by 2021.
