Established British families should be given priority over economic migrants for council housing, government minister Margaret Hodge has said.
She has called for a rethink of social housing policy, to take account of length of residence, citizenship and national insurance contributions.
Social housing was limited and British families had a "legitimate sense of entitlement" to have their own homes.
Lib Dem president, Simon Hughes, whose south-east London constituency recognised that housing allocation was among the biggest causes of racism.
"The worst cause of racial strife and antagonism is when new property is built, social property, and when people who appear to have no link with the community move into it, when other people who may be desperately needing to move, can't get a move", he told the BBC.
