- Description
- Former Home Secretary Merlyn Rees reacts in Parliament to the Conservative Government’s proposed changes to imigration legislation. He criticises the changes as being specifically designed to deal with Asians, and labels them sexist, racist and indefensible. He refers back to a time when he had proposed something similar, but came to realise he had been wrong.
