As I have said from this Dispatch Box on a number of occasions, the Government are fully committed to complying with international law and protecting human rights. We are therefore proposing reforms to the immigration system but ones which we believe will be compatible with Article 8 of the ECHR. As we announced in the immigration White Paper, the Government will set out a new family policy to cover all UK residents—including those who are British, settled, on work routes or refugees—seeking to bring family members to the UK, which will include clear relationship requirements and an appropriate level of English language skills, and ensure that the family unit has sufficient money to financially support any migrants without reliance on the taxpayer.
