HC Deb 18 July 1978 vol 954 c132W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will list the dates and places he has visited during the past four years where there are known racial and immigration problems; whether such visits included the areas where racial disturbances have occurred; and when he next expects to visit the East End of London, an area with large numbers of immigrants, to discuss their problems with them.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

I visit many parts of the country in the course of my duties, and I take the opportunity to discuss problems of race relations and immigration. I have no immediate plans to visit the East End of London, but I deplore the activities of those who are responsible for the recent violent incidents there.
