Rupal Rajani has a powerful and emotional discussion with Stephen Poulton who worked in a resettlement camp at RAF Stradishall in Suffolk, and Fiyaz Mughal, whose family passed through this camp when he was a young child.

At the time Idi Amin gave Asians living in Uganda 90 days to leave, around 28,000 held British passports. The Conservative Prime Minister at the time was Edward Heath. Supported by the opposition, he made a political decision to allow the refugees into the country.

With such large numbers moving to Britain in a short space of time, the Uganda Resettlement Board was set up to process the new arrivals.

Resettlement camps were established across the country with the aim of finding work and accommodation for the Ugandan Asians.
