The High Commissioner (Mr Douglas Carter) related the story when he spoke to the English Speaking Union in Dundee. “It was a heart-rending appeal.” Mr Carter said. “It said the organisation was spending a lot of money on a programme to teach immigrants from Commonwealth countries, including New Zealand, to read, write and speak English.
