HC Deb 06 May 1982 vol 23 c134W
Mr. Guy Barnett

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will increase the level of grant from central Government for the provision of language training for Vietnamese refugees.

Dr. Boyson

Responsibility for the provision of language training for resettled Vietnamese refugees rests with local authorities. Exceptionally, central Government made funds available in 1981–82 for a special project—The English Language for Adults Tutor Training Project—on which a report and an independent evaluation report are expected shortly. The future position will be considered in the light of these reports.
