Assistance and Protection

In every British passport it requires that the holder be afforded 'such assistance and protection as may be necessary.' It's eight months since the dramatic airlift of Asian refugees from Uganda hit the headlines in Britain. The fate of these 28,000 British passport holders expelled by General Amin is something most of us have forgotten; but a Man Alive film team have been following the refugees since they arrived last October. Tonight, we look at how they have fared. What problems they have met finding homes and jobs; and whether or not we have made them feel welcome-given enough assistance and protection? In the studio Desmond Wilcox discusses with those responsible how well we handled this emergency.
