Proceeding contribution from Baroness Harman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 May 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The first topical debate we had was on immigration, but I will consider that as a request for another. I remind the hon. Gentleman that migrants are more likely to provide public services than to use them. They build more houses than they live in and they pick more crops than they eat. We should recognise their contribution to the economy and our public services, while ensuring that they are not exploited and that employment laws apply effectively to those who employ them.
