Proceeding contribution from Baroness May of Maidenhead (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 March 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Student Visas.
Student Visas
My hon. Friend is taking me down a road that goes beyond the Home Office's area of responsibility, large though that is. I fully accept the thrust of his comment about the importance of people being able to speak English, which is precisely why we introduced a requirement last year that those who come here to marry or join a partner should be able to speak English to a particular standard.
