Immigrants should be made to learn English on arrival to help integration in UK, parliamentary report finds | The Independent
Compulsory education? Oath swearing? all a bit extreme to me.
Fine with a mandatory English test and swearing allegiance if they want to become a citizen.
or am I being a bit extreme?
By jove I think he has got it!
New immigrants to Britain should be made to learn English on arrival in compulsory classes, according to Parliament’s new all-party group on social integration.
MPs and peers from all parties are co-authors of a new report that also suggests handing immigration powers directly to regions ahead of the current centralised system. It comes in the wake of a Louise Casey’s report last month that warned that as Britain is becoming more diverse, it is also becoming more divided. Dame Casey’s report also recommended that immigrants be required to swear an ‘integration oath.’

Labour MP Chuka Umunna, chair of the APPG, said: “It’s clear that immigration has impacted on different communities in different ways and the pace of change has alarmed many.
