Proceeding contribution from Lord Khan of Tooting (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill (HL).


Equality Bill [Lords]

I am grateful for my hon. Friend’s point about the high percentage of people with African heritage in London. People from ethnic minorities make up one third of the population of the city, and 39 per cent. of all Muslims in the UK are based in London. Some 48 per cent. of all people throughout the country from ethnic minorities are in London. I could go on and on about why London should be chosen.
