The Aliens Act of 1905 was a watershed in British history.

It marked a victory for the opponents of unrestricted access into Britain and was the point at which the liberal, 'Open Door? approach to immigration began to close - a process that continued throughout the 20th century. A hundred years on, with immigration still making headlines today, Susan Hitch and guests explore the circumstances which led to the original Act?s introduction.
