Proceeding contribution from Baroness Ashton of Upholland (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Government: Legislative Programme.
Government: Legislative Programme
My Lords, I would signal to the noble Lord the massive contribution made over the generations by people who have come to this country, settled here and developed their businesses. The work that they have done in this nation has helped to make it as great as it is. That has happened generation upon generation, and some of those people, I am pleased and thrilled to say, are represented in your Lordships' House. That contribution brings benefits. It is right and proper when considering our housing policy that we are mindful of the range of different people within our country, not least, as I have already indicated, the needs of single people.
