Proceeding contribution from Anne Moffat (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Managed Migration.


Managed Migration

I regret having to bring in an element of negativity, but I wonder whether hon. Friend shares my concerns about a situation in my constituency whereby a mushroom farm that has taken on a lot of migrant workers has been deliberately squeezing out the local work force. The migrant workers are working for far lower terms and conditions of employment and for excessive hours, and the indigenous work force, who were in their hundreds, are now down to 20-odd. Surely we must do something to protect our indigenous workers and prevent the racial tensions that mount as a result of this.
