HC Deb 22 February 1973 vol 851 cc141-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what was the reason for the visit made to the city of Leicester by the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department; to what extent during this visit he discussed with the city authorities concerned problems connected with immigration; and whether he will arrange a similar visit to be made to the London borough of Newham.

Mr. Lane

My recent visit to Leicester was made at the request of the City of Leicester Corporation, with which I had wide-ranging discussions about problems arising from the presence of substantial numbers of immigrants. I have not been invited to visit the London borough of Newham.
