HC Deb 21 March 1968 vol 761 cc135-6W
61. Sir D. Renton

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he proposes to take as a result of the report submitted to him in January, 1968 by the London and Counties Tenants' Federation about the effects of immigration upon the lives of many native-born citizens in towns where immigrants have settled in considerable numbers; what reply he has sent to the Federation; why he refused to receive a delegation from it; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Ennals

My right hon. Friend received the Federation's report at the end of January and in reply, told them that he had noted their views. The Federation had already made these known in a number of letters and at a meeting with officers of my Department last October he did not accordingly consider that any useful purpose would be served by receiving a delegation personally.
