Brexit: Research Funding

Baroness Rawlings Excerpts

Monday 11th March 2019 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I can certainly alert the Chancellor to the Question that has been raised, and I am sure that he may wish to read a copy of Hansard. Beyond that, I am not prepared to give any guarantees.

[Baroness Rawlings (Con)]

My Lords, does the Minister agree that learning other languages doubles people’s chances of getting jobs?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

Of course it depends on which jobs they are seeking, but yes, I certainly fully endorse learning languages, and I am sure that all educationalists agree.
