A series of three programmes 2: A Question of Numbers?
How did Britain come to have one and three-quarter million non-whites - mostly from the West Indies, India and Pakistan, together with their children born here? Was this influx planned, or were these immigrants acquired 'in a fit of absentmindedness'? and how far was public opinion taken into account? Robert Mc Kenzie traces the history of British attitudes to immigration with Lord Gordon-Walker, David Steel Roy Hattersley , Enoch Powell and others involved in race relations over the past 25 years.
Charles Wheeler discusses the future trends with William Brass , Professor of Demography.
