Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 22 October 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

The hon. Gentleman says that the measures on landlords should pose no difficulty for people who already live here. When my parents first came to this country, landlords would routinely tell prospective black tenants that the room was gone. Does not the legislation bring us back to the situation in which people, rather than go through the rigmarole, will see a black face and say, “The room is gone”?
