Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Housing and Regeneration Bill.


Housing and Regeneration Bill

Again, I appreciate what my hon. Friend is saying, and I respect his views on the matter. I reiterate the point that I made earlier: we need to strike the right balance between remedying the incompatibility, providing a fair immigration policy and protecting the UK taxpayer. The important point is that, as a result of the amendments and the attempt to remedy the incompatibility, the people in question will not be left homeless, as they would have been under the current, incompatible, provisions. I hope that my hon. Friend is reassured by that.
