From The London Telegraph-
Lord Carey, the former head of the Anglican church, said anyone wanting to come to Britain should be aware of the nation's history and language.
He said the points based system governing immigration could even reward those who understand and espouse our heritage but insisted he was not calling for such a move.
It comes a day after a cross party group of public figures, including Lord Carey, warned a failure to limit immigration could put "social harmony" at risk.
The group has called for all main political parties to make manifesto commitments to keep the population under 70 million by slashing net immigration.
Lord Carey said: "What I think we must call for is an understanding on the part of those who come into our country that they are coming into one which values parliamentary democracy, which is built upon our Christian heritage.
"They have got to understand our commitment to the English language and espouse it, and they must understand our history."
