(BBC) Recent disorder in Leicester showed why “robust strategies that support integration” were needed, the city’s bishop has said in the House of Lords.
Making his maiden speech on Friday during a debate on immigration, Bishop Martyn Snow said more support was needed for asylum seekers.
He described Leicester as “a city made by migration.”
Bishop Snow added that more needed to be done to stop “disinformation,” which he said fuelled unrest.
Large-scale disorder broke out in the east part of Leicester on 17 September following tensions involving mainly young men from Muslim and Hindu communities.
