UK Proposes bar on non-English speaking immigrants

London: The UK’s Commission on Integration and Cohesion has reportedly proposed to the British government to make it compulsory for the foreign-born Britons to speak English, else they should be barred from entering the country.

The proposal is aimed at slashing the translation services. The proposals are almost certain to be adopted by ministers in a drive to improve racial harmony, the Daily Mail reported. Councils, the NHS and the courts spend more than ฃ100 million a year on interpreters and translating documents into foreign languages.
