| Description | The head of the new equality quango has heaped praise on David Cameron for his attempts to "deracialise" immigration.
Trevor Phillips, chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, heralded the Tory leader's speech as a turning point in the immigration debate.
He said Mr Cameron had set himself apart from Tories such as Enoch Powell, famed for his 1968 "Rivers of Blood" speech on immigration.
Mr Cameron said immigration levels to the UK should be "substantially lower".
In his speech on Monday, the Conservative leader said immigration had to be considered alongside other pressures including people living longer, and more people choosing to live alone. |
