An all parties’ parliamentary report has highlighted that immigrants coming to the U.K. should be expected to learn English before coming to Britain or, in case that’s not possible, they should at least be enrolled in compulsory language classes as soon as they arrive. In the report, MPs and peers called on the ministers to consider a radical overhaul which could allow regions limited control of immigration powers rather than the current “one size fits all” system.
The report published by the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on social integration was concluded after a landmark review that warned last month that the country is becoming more divided as it becomes more diverse. The inquiry held by Dame Louise Casey concluded that more English classes should be held for isolated groups and suggested ministers should consider whether immigrants intending to settle in Britain should swear an “integration oath” on arrival.
The APPG report pointed out that integration should begin upon arrival in the UK and described speaking English as “the key to full participation in our society and economy” and a “prerequisite for meaningful engagement with most British people”. The report says that “the APPG believes that all immigrants should be expected to have either learned English before coming to the UK or be enrolled in compulsory Esol (English for Speakers of Other Languages) classes upon arrival.” The Government is now urged to reassess the current “one size fits all” approach to immigration policy and consider reforming the system to more actively shape immigrant settlement patterns within the UK.
