Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 October 2008. It occurred during Opposition day on Immigration Controls.


Immigration Controls

Will the hon. Gentleman define an immigrant for the purposes of this debate? Are Irish non-British citizens immigrants? Are the Europeans who are allowed to live and work here—as we can in any European country—immigrants? They all require housing, schooling and health services. Before we get much further into the debate, will he tell us what the Tory definition of an immigrant is?
