The government should make English courses free and immigrants should only be encouraged, not forced to learn basic English

 @9PXL2XK answered…11mos11MO

No but free resources should be provided for a basic understanding of English but fluency shouldn’t be required

 @9Q27J87answered…11mos11MO

Yes

Any that refuse to learn English should be sent back where they came from. It's basic decency to learn the language, and customs, when moving to another country.

Yes immigrants must learn to integrate but any UK language is fine such as Welsh; Gaelic; Irish; Scots; or Cornish: not only English!

 @9PNH8T8answered…11mos11MO

Yes and no, Individuals must be able to speak english to a level where they can converse a basic sentences with a fluent speaker.
Immigrant parties (familys/people who will live together) must have at least one fluent/adept speaker that has the ability to translate a conversation for another member of the immigrant party.

Yes they should have to learn the language or at least make more of an effort to blend in and not try to dictate rules and regulations that not everyone believes in.

I don’t think it should be a requirement but I believe that language learning courses should be provided to immigrants in order for them to learn English so their financial situations are not strained
