HC Deb 09 November 1972 vol 845 cc238-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether, in view of the communication sent to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North from Mrs. M. A. M. Hyms regarding her housing conditions and related matters, which are on a par with those confronting the Ugandan Asians, he will arrange for her to be offered the same assistance as that offered to these immigrants.

Mr. Channon

While I sympathise with Mrs. Hyms over the difficulties she has encountered since her return to England I do not think that her position is altogether on a par with that of the Uganda Asian refugees. So far as her personal case is concerned, I have nothing to add to what my hon. Friend the Under-Secretary of State for Health and Social Security said to the hon. Member in his letter of 27th October.
