Adults accompanying foreign workers to the UK will be expected to pass the English test and will prevent nursing homes from recruiting staff from abroad as part of a series of new measures by Keir Starmer to “tighten” the immigration system.

Amid recent surge in support for UK reforms, the Prime Minister will say on Monday that overseas visitors should “learn our language” and promise to overhaul the “broken system” to encourage businesses to “attract low-wage workers”.

The Prime Minister said the government would also end the right of foreign workers to automatically apply for settlement in the UK after five years, rather than extending the waiting time to 10 years.

The announcements are part of Labor’s long-awaited white paper, which will be submitted to Parliament on Monday and follow the election success achieved by Nigel Farage’s party in this month’s local elections.

It also includes deportation of more foreign criminals, telling employers that they must train British employees and requiring skilled workers entering the UK to have degrees.

The difference between the number of people moving to the UK and the number of people leaving was 728,000 in the 12 months ended June 2024.

"Every area of ​​the immigration system, including work, family and study, will be tightened, so we have more control," the prime minister is expected to say on Monday.

In a language that is more closely related to populist parties, Starmer would say that the white paper “will ensure that the country’s reconciliation is a privilege, not a right.

“When people come to our country, they should also be committed to integrating and learning our language.”

Each adult who escorts into the UK worker will pass the online English A1 test, which requires an understanding of daily expressions and seek questions and answers on simple personal details such as his or her residence.

If workers apply for an extension of their visa, their families will pass a more advanced English A2 test. If they apply for a solution, they will pass the B2 exam, which requires them to understand “complex text on concrete and abstract subjects” and “interact with a certain degree of fluency and spontaneity.”

Sources say that English requirements for various immigration routes will be made at some point in the future, which could force people arriving in the UK from the war zone to test their language skills before obtaining permission from the UK.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said on Sunday that nursing staff visas will be closed for overseas recruitment, according to proposals in the white paper.

Cooper asked that the staff was recruited by Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC, and Cooper said the company should be recruited from a group of people who honestly became carers but had been "exploited" by unfounded employers.

"Care companies should be recruiting from these workers. They can also extend their existing visas. They can also recruit from other people who already have visas here. But we do think it's time to end recruitment of nursing staff recruited from abroad," she said.

Cooper refused to set a specific goal for net migration, but said ministers believe some visa changes could lead to "50,000 fewer low-skill visas" next year.

Currently, foreign offenders are reported to the Ministry of the Interior only when sentenced to jail, while prison criminals only one year later are usually considered deportation.

Under the new arrangement, the Home Office will be informed that all foreign nationals convicted of crimes – not only those sentenced to imprisonment – ​​and will be able to use a wider power of recall in other crimes, including Swifter lawsuits, to expel those who have recently arrived in the country but have committed the crime.

The Home Office will also introduce rules so that any foreign national who belongs to the register of sex offenders, regardless of the length of sentence, will be classified as a “serious crime” without the right to protect asylum in the UK.

Other recommendations are expected to include new regulations in order to repeatedly show that companies that strive to recruit UK employees rather than recruit from abroad may lose their right to sponsor foreign workers. The departments targeted by the government include engineering and IT.

Work visas are expected to be strictly restricted for most jobs that do not require postgraduate level skills.

Foreign students who earn a degree in the UK will face stricter regulations on their rights after completion of the university.

Ministers also plan to introduce a labour market evidence group consisting of officials from industrial and skilled institutions and government and immigration advisory committees. "Inform the department about where excessive dependence on overseas workforce and family skills are insufficiently invested in".

Apart from winning control of 10 councils on May 1, most polls favored by voters in most countries will be effectively frozen among most immigrants.

Refugee Commission CEO Enver Solomon responded to the proposal, saying: "It is right, ministers want to address the concerns about immigration, but the public wants to have the ability to do principle rather than the manifestation of populism."

Care England, representing nursing homes, marked Care Visas' changes as "a blow to an already vulnerable department", while Unison linked "hostile language" to "from the cliff" for nursing visa applications.

England Care CEO Martin Green accused the government of "kicking us when we're already disappointed".

"For years, the industry has been supporting itself with reduced resources, rising costs and increasing vacancies. International recruitment is not a silver bullet, but it is a lifeline. Now it is a lifeline. There is no warning, no funds, no other choice, no other choice, not only short-sighted, but cruel."

Christina McAnea, Secretary General of the Unification Alliance, said, “The NHS and nursing sectors will collapse long ago without thousands of workers coming to the UK from overseas”.
