Terrorist Attacks (Paris)

Proceeding contribution from Phillip Lee (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 January 2015. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Terrorist Attacks (Paris).

Purveyors of extremism find fertile ground in communities that are not properly assimilated into the mainstream of society. Bearing that in mind, will the Home Secretary consider supporting the introduction of parts on compulsory written and spoken English into the British citizenship test? I believe that shared values and a shared language underpin a strong society, and particularly that if women in such communities were emancipated, they would help pacify young men who might be tempted to copy the extremist behaviour seen so graphically in Paris last week.
