§ Mr. Jim Cousins (Newcastle upon Tyne, Central)I wish to present a petition from 1,200 residents of Tyneside who are concerned about the implications of the Immigration Bill for people of black and other ethnic minority backgrounds, believing that the implementation of the Bill will be racist. They therefore ask the House to re-examine the Bill in the light of submissions from the Commission for Racial Equality and the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants. I am happy, as an hon. Member concerned about the right to family unity of my constituents, particularly from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Hong Kong, to add my support to their petition.
§ To lie upon the Table.
