| Minister who angered Muslims now has Immigration portfolio |
| 2008-10-06 |
| Phil Woolas, previously an Environment Minister, was handed the brief despite infuriating the Pakistani community earlier this year by warning they were fuelling birth defects by inter-marrying. He also caused anger following the Oldham race riots by calling for 'the reality of anti-white racism' to be acknowledged. His appointment was part of a raft of junior ministerial changes announced by Gordon Brown yesterday. |
