London: Britain is planning to introduce tougher rules to ensure that immigrants specially from the Indian sub-continent have a “reasonable standard” of English, Prime Minister David Cameron has said.
“Migrant families have an obligation to teach their children English before they start school. We will bring forward tougher rules to ensure those arriving in the UK have a reasonable standard of English,” Cameron told the House of Commons.

Ministers believe that children brought up here stand a better chance of succeeding if their parents have a good grasp of the language. Cameron spoke out after a Commons exchange with Yorkshire Tory MP Kris Hopkins, who said: “Sadly in Keighley, too many children start school and don’t speak English.
