HC Deb 17 February 1978 vol 944 cc382-3W
Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his Department has any plans to encourage the dispersal of new immigrants from cities which have a higher than average immigrant population.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

New guidance for prospective immigrants will shortly be issued which will mention the difficulty of finding accommodation in large cities. Many new immigrants, however, will be dependants who will need to join the head of a family already settled here; and there will he many who will feel a need for support from their own minority communities if they are to settle successfully.
