answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The government recognises that learning English is essential to enabling refugees to rebuild their lives. The department supports adults in England through the Adult Education Budget (AEB) to secure the English language skills that they need. The Home Office and the Department for Education have also provided £10 million to enable refugees resettled through the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme to access additional classes.

Funding for all programmes beyond 2019/20, including any potential funding for this strategy, will be set during the upcoming Spending Review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 02/07/2019 16:04:35 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
