All immigrants coming to Britain in search of a new life should be able to speak English, Ed Miliband has said.
Speaking on the campaign trail at a school in Merseyside, he pledged that a future Labour government would pass laws to ensure that health workers spoke a proficient level of English before starting work with patients.
‘It’s something we should expect from everyone who comes here and it’s especially important that people who work in public services in public-facing roles should be required to speak English,’ he told a crowd at Pensby High School.
