§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Environment to what extent his Department has offices, officers and staffs employed wholly, mainly or in any way on matters connected with immigration; what are the numbers employed and the total wages and salaries; to what extent these figures have changed over the past 10 years; and, now that immigration has beer reduced to a mere trickle, what plans he has for reducing these offices, staff and related expenses.
Mr. Guy HarriettNo staff in the Department deal with matters directly related to immigration. Our housing policy and initiatives on the problems of inner cities take account of the fact that ours is a multi-racial society.
