Proceeding contribution from Charles Clarke (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill.


Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill

I would not be anything like as vicious and sharp in my use of language as my hon. Friend, but he accurately describes the state of affairs. The big issue involves a change of culture that runs right through the whole five-year strategy. We need to understand that responsibility for the migration and asylum system in this country is a matter not only for the Home Office and its agencies but for those who benefit from that migration. We are trying to form a partnership with the universities so that everyone can acknowledge their responsibilities in regard to dealing with the problem. I accept my hon. Friend’s point, and I have set out what we are trying to achieve.
