To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how much of the English language tuition fund his Department has spent since January 2016.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Communities and Local Government) (Local Government)
As the first step in rolling out the new £20 million programme we have committed just over £3 million to enable six providers who delivered the Department’s previous community-based English language programme to provide new tuition to over 10,000 people by March next year.
We will shortly be issuing a new Prospectus, inviting applications to run the bulk of the new programme from 2017. The nature and targeting of that provision will be informed by Louise Casey’s Review of Integration and Opportunity.
We will monitor the new Programme to assess its effectiveness in meeting its objectives.
