Will Tier 1 be affected by laws changing?

Today the government have tightened rules for immigrant partners. Story on bbc.co.uk is: "Ministers are bringing forward to the autumn measures requiring many immigrants marrying UK citizens to prove they have a command of English."

We all know that the new government will indoutably, tighten the visa rules. They have started with the above and next will move to Tier 4 (student visa. )

Will they change rules for Tier 1 as well. If so, what are the likely changes to be implemented?

I know we're speculating here but this will allow people to know what's to come and be prepared.
