HC Deb 22 March 1979 vol 964 cc679-80W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will give for the longest and most convenient stated period of time the number of visits which he personally has made to stated areas in Great Britain which are known to have large immigrant populations, for the specific purpose of dealing with racial matters; what engagements he has already arranged for the next six months for the same purpose; and whether in both instances these include the London borough of Newham.

Mr. Merlyn Rees

For the reasons given in the letter I wrote to my hon. Friend on 4 August 1978 it would not be practicable to particularise the visits I have made, or propose to make, which include reference to these matters. They have not included the London borough of Newham and I have no plans to pay a visit there.
