HC Deb 28 April 2004 vol 420 c1109W
Mr. Nigel Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what has been done to recognise the educational background of the 1,000 refugees from the Sangatte camp in 2003 in order to integrate them into the UK workplace. [157364]

Mr. Browne

Job Centre Plus interviewed the majority of arrivals and made an assessment of their skills, taking their reported educational attainments fully into account. Where appropriate, those who had not entered employment were offered English language training to assist them in their search for work.
