English-Speaking Immigrants (EDM760)

English-Speaking Immigrants

EDM number 760 in 2006-07, proposed by Frank Field on 29/01/2007.

That this House recognises the importance of English language skills to the prospects of immigrants intending to settle here, as well as to community cohesion; notes that from April this year the Government intends to introduce English language tests for those seeking indefinite leave to remain; and calls on the Government to strengthen this policy by ensuring that anybody declaring an intention to reside in the UK permanently, for marriage or other purposes, should satisfy an English language test before arrival.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
