The key part from Green's speech on 2nd February on the spousal route:
"In the coming weeks we will be announcing our conclusions about the settlement and family consultations that we have conducted. In those consultations there were a number of examples of the selectivity I am talking about.
In our consultation on family migration, we have made clear that we welcome those who are in genuine relationships.. But there is an important caveat..... We want those coming here to be able to integrate fully and to be independent.. This means being able to speak English and having sufficient financial means to be able to prosper.... We asked the MAC to advise on an appropriate income range for the sponsor’s income, which they have suggested should be between £18,600 and £25,700..".
This isnt new stuff. Just potentially imminent now.
I think the rest of the speech, most of it, was to do with students and workers, not the spousal routes.
