British workers should be able to bring their family members to the UK more easily, a government review into family visas has suggested.

Under policies brought in by Rishi Sunak’s Conservative government, British citizens or settled residents who want to bring their partners to the UK are required to show they have a salary of at least £29,000 a year. The Conservatives had planned to further raise the threshold to £38,700, but Labour ordered a review of the requirements, which have been described as a “tax on love” by critics.
