Under political pressure, the

government legislated three times in

less than a decade to make

immigration for non-white people

harder and harder. By 1972,

legislation meant that a British

passport holder born overseas could

only settle in Britain if they, firstly,

had a work permit and, secondly,

could prove that a parent or

grandparent had been born in the UK.

In practice, this meant children born

to white families in the remnants of

Empire or the former colonies could

enter Britain. Their black counterparts

could not.

By the 1980s Britain's

immigration policy had two

prongs. Firstly, there were strict

controls on entry.

Secondly, the state said it

would protect the rights of

ethnic minorities. Critics

suggested that the two prongs

gave conflicting signals on the

place of the immigrant

communities - and their British-

born children - in society. As

manufacturing declined, work

permits were harder to get

unless you had specialist skills

or professional trading.
