Presentation transcript:

British Nationality Act (1948) Gave Commonwealth citizens the right to come and settle in Britain. Commonwealth Immigrants Act (1962) Restricted immigrants to Commonwealth citizens with a government issued employment voucher. (1965) made it illegal to discriminate on grounds of race in public places. Race Relations Act (1968) made it illegal to discriminate on grounds of race in housing, employment and provision of goods and services

What can we learn from this source about immigration, ? British Cartoon Why was this source published in 1948?

The new Race Relations Act comes into force today making racial discrimination unlawful in public places. The new act forbids discrimination on the "grounds of colour, race, or ethnic or national origins" in public places and covers both British residents and overseas visitors. But there have already been claims by anti-racist groups and Labour backbenchers that the new law does not go far enough, as it does not cover housing or employment. The new law does not make racial discrimination a criminal offence - and only the very worst offenders will be referred by the Attorney General to county court. Source A: BBC news report from 1965.

Cartoon published in 1962

How far does this source prove that Britain in 1968 was a racist country?
