The Government intends to simplify and reform the family and private life immigration framework, including:
<ul>
 	<li>increasing the English language requirement for settlement across most routes from B1 to B2;</li>
 	<li>introducing an English language requirement for adult dependants of students and workers;</li>
 	<li>and tightening the legal framework around Article 8 (right to family life) claims, by legislating to clarify that the right to remain is a matter for Parliament rather than the courts.</li>
</ul>
These proposals suggest a significant shift in the approach to long-standing legal arguments relied upon by individuals resisting removal or seeking to regularise their status
