Where does it say this? that would be interesting...But wouldn't it be only for people with ILR as opposed to any EC or LTR/FLR visa? Otherwise that would just get tricky.But as from 13th October 2006 the rules are changing and holders of a UK-issued "Residence Permit" .... have a look at your husband's 2-year spouse visa ... will not need a Schengen visa to enter Schengen space for up to 90 days.
hi johnAnd yes, your husband will need to get a Schengen visa before entering a Schengen country such as France.

john, does this apply to holders of student visas? My gf has a 'Residence permit' in her passport valid until Oct 08.John wrote:The new EU legislation? It can be downloaded by clicking here.
There is lots of small print! The direction I would point you in is Article 5, 1(b ), and in particular the words at the end of that, namely, "except where they hold a valid residence permit;".
And the definition of residence permit in Article 2, part 15. It is of course the case that UK ECs have for some while now been issued in the style specified there.
But lots of the rest of the document also applies.
I have yet to spot anything on an embassy website about this, but hopefully an official statement will appear soon.
