ABSTRACT

As the controversy concerning the number of immigrants to be allowed in Britain is coming to an end, the far more important question as to how she is to deal with those already settled here is at last beginning to receive serious attention. Since the debate has not yet developed a firm vocabulary and a settled body of assump­ tions, it would be fruitful to analyse, in the light of the foregoing chapters, the direction it is beginning to take and the dangers lying therein.
