This was designed under New Labour but is being implemented a year early by the coalition government as a sign that it is prepared to be tougher than its predecessor - “I believe being able to speak English should be a pre-requisite for anyone who wants to settle here. The new English requirement for spouses will help promote integration, remove cultural barriers and protect public services. It is a privilege to come to the UK and that is why I am committed to raising the bar for migrants…this is only the first step.” (Theresa May)<SPAN> </SPAN></SPAN></P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Emily says of the new requirement, “My husband and I speak Arabic together, he is learning English and we both think this is very important. However, this law is not about enabling new immigrants to learn English. This new rule discriminates against spouses from parts of the world where English tuition is poor or non-existent, not to mention those who cannot afford to pay for English classes. What's more, it doesn't apply to spouses from within the EU who don't speak English. The rule shows a complete disregard for the right of married couples and families to be together, and effectively punishes people like myself for marrying outside the EU.”</SPAN></P>
