Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 March 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Managed Migration.


Managed Migration

One matter follows exactly from the point that my hon. Friend is making, and it concerns those parts of Britain with significant communities of recent immigrants. Members of families already here could come to this country at no cost to the state, as their relatives could house them, and they could then join the work force and exercise their skills. Given that the aim is to build society, community and family, I hope that special attention is given to joining up those families who are willing and able to contribute to the economy. We should not look in different places for people with no previous roots in this country.
