"The rights of all British citizens legally settled here are equal before the law whatever their race, colour or creed. And their opportunities ought to be equal too. The ethnic minorities have already made a valuable contribution to the life of our nation. But firm imm.gration control for the future is essential if we are to achieve good community relations. It will end persistent fears about levels of immigration and will remove from those settled, and in many cases born here, the label of 'immigrant'.
!
(i) We shall introduce a new British Nationality Act to
define entitlement to British citizenship and to
(ii)
the right of abode in this country. It will not adversely affect the right of anyone now permanently settled here.
We shall end the practice of allowing permanent settlement for those who come here for a temporary stay. (iii) We shall limit entry of parents, grandparents and
children over 18 to a small number of urgent compassionate cases.
(iv)
We shall end the concession introduced by the Labour government in 1974 to husbands and male fiancés. (v) We shall severely restrict the issue of work permits. (vi) We shall introduce a Register of those Commonwealth wives and children entitled to entry for settlement under the 1971 Immigration Act.
(vii) We shall then introduce a quota system, covering
everyone outside the European Community, to control all entry for settlement.
(viii) We shall take firm action against illegal immigrants and overstayers and help those immigrants who genuinely wish to leave this country but there can
be no question of compulsory repatriation.
