Sarah Teather at the Neasden Temple

Responding today to the Home Office's announcement that it would remove the English language requirement from the immigration rules for non-preaching Ministers of Religion, Sarah Teather, MP for Brent East, said:

"I wholeheartedly welcome this u-turn. It's taken nearly two years to change the Home Office's mind but I'm glad they've finally done the right thing.

"I've been backing this campaign all the way, and would like to pay tribute to all the hard work put in by the Willesden Lane and Neasden temples and the wider Hindu community. Their efforts were crucial to our success."

    If you are a resident of the Brent Central constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
