IMPACT OF THE IMMIGRATION, ASYLUM AND NATIONALITY BILL ON INDIAN AND CHINESE RESTAURANTS

Motion Text

That this House notes with concern that the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Bill will have a disproportionate and damaging impact on Chinese, Indian and other restaurants specialising in non-European cuisines; acknowledges the immense contribution these restaurants have made by enriching British social, economic and culinary life; calls for the recognition of the specialist skills of chefs of non-European restaurants which cannot easily be replaced from within the European Union; and urges the Government to reflect on the proposed changes and to bring forward further changes to satisfy those concerned.
