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.
