Lost on translation?
Updated on 15 June 2009
More4 News has learnt that 58 per cent of councils across England increased their funding on translation services last year.
Harry Anscombe reports.
The majority of councils have increased their spending on translation services for immigrants - despite a formal government request to cut it.
More4 News has discovered that over £50m was spent on tranlsations by English councils, and that some of the material translated is not read by a single person.
The findings reignite the debate over whether English lessons are a better way to cater for migrants' needs. Harry Anscombe reports.
