Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 February 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on UK Borders Bill.


UK Borders Bill

What the hon. Member for Shipley says is not true. I have never seen a link between immigration policy and good race relations. We can have good race relations in the United Kingdom. The hon. and learned Member for Harborough (Mr. Garnier) has a seat next door to my Leicester seat. He has a growing Asian population in places like Oadby. Many of my hon. Friends and colleagues in all parts of the House have multicultural constituencies. We have good race relations in this country, and that has nothing to do with our immigration law.
