§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will, for the longest and most conveniently stated period of time, state 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 connected with employment and unemployment; what engagements he has already arranged for the next six months for the same purposes; and whether in both instances these include the London borough of Newham.
§ Mr. John GrantMy right hon. Friend has not undertaken any recent visit for the specific purpose of dealing with racial matters connected with employment and unemployment. Nor has he planned any such visit during the next six months. However, as the Minister with responsibilities for race relations in employment, my visits over the past year have taken me to a number of areas of high immigrant settlement for the specific purpose of dealing with racial matters, and have included speaking engagements on the subject of race relations in employment. I have not visited Newham and have no present plans to do so.
