Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 September 2013. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Spousal Visas.
Spousal Visas
I thank the Minister and am grateful for the changes he has made already; I think they are moving in the right direction. He has said that couples require a minimum income of £18,600 before they get benefits, but the problem with that is that the burden is placed on the British resident and citizen, not the couple. Will the Minister do more take into account the capacity of the migrant spouse to earn while they are here?
