A reminder for those wanting to stem the tide of profoundly illiberal
policy initiatives emanating from the Home Office. The consultation on
whether there should be a pre-entry English requirement for spouses
entering the UK is curretly underway and comes to an end on 27 February.
This move figured in the Green Paper released on Wednesday. It would have
a huge impact on women and children in particular. I would urge you to
respond.
