White on CRE immigration report |
|
Monday, 31 October 2005 |
Commenting on the report entitled Broadening Our Horizons, published
today (Monday) by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE),SNP Equal
Opportunities spokesperson Sandra White MSP said:
"The SNP support the Commission for Racial Equality's view that far
more has to be done to support those migrants and refugees who are
coming to Scotland.
"This report exposes the fact that Ministers efforts are falling
woefully short in terms of meeting Scotland's population challenge, and
in welcoming both immigrants and refugees to our country.
"We clearly need to raise our game with regards to attracting more
people to Scotland. It is one thing bringing immigrants here but we
have to improve the provision of support if we are to keep them here in
Scotland in the long-term."
