That this House applauds the 7,000 people who marched through London on Saturday 24 June to support asylum rights; is distressed that this significant demonstration received no coverage on major television and newspapers; and call upon Her Majesty's Government to examine the poverty of many asylum seekers in the United Kingdom and to be far more critical of human rights abuses in the countries from which people seek asylum.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 19 June 2000
That this House is horrified at the death of fifty eight asylum seekers in a lorry entering the United Kingdom from Belgium; sends its deepest sympathy to their families and friends; recalls the deaths of other asylum seekers trying to enter Europe with the deepest regret; and resolves to seriously examine the economic, social and political desperation that causes victims to attempt to flee to Europe, rather than looking for even more draconian measures against asylum seekers.

That this House notes that more than 100 asylum seekers have been sent to Derby from Kent County Council by West Midlands Housing Ltd; expresses its concern that such a large number of asylum seekers could be transferred to Derby without the prior knowledge or consent of the local authority; regrets that as a consequence the asylum seekers are having to live in substandard unfit accommodation; notes that this practice does not give asylum seekers use of good services provided by local authorities, such as translation, education, housing and other essential services; and calls on the Government to take action against Kent County Council over their use of West Midlands Housing Ltd. in order that this situation does not arise again.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 2 May 2000
That this House notes that the Conservative Party's prospective parliamentary candidate for Wellingborough has issued a press release entitled 'Bogus asylum-seekers swamp Northamptonshire', in which he claims that he has visited a nursery school in Wellingborough that has seen the level of language support staff for its ethnic minority children substantially reduced, as these staff have been switched to the children of asylum-seekers; notes that the headteacher of that nursery school has condemned the claim as 'untrue' and has written to the candidate to express the school's shock at his actions, stating that 'We have worked very hard over the years to promote racial harmony in our nursery and are shocked that you have used a goodwill visit to provide false evidence to stir up hostile feelings against a vulnerable section of our community'; condemns outright all lies and half-truths about asylum-seekers because of the racial hostility that they inflame; and, accordingly, calls upon the Leader of the Opposition to condemn the untrue and inflammatory comments of the Conservative Party's prospective Parliamentary candidate for Wellingborough.

That this House believes that in order to stabilise good community race relations it is essential to demonstrate that Her Majesty's Government is meeting in full the costs of support and services to asylum seekers and their families; and calls upon the Government to fund in full and without delay the claims submitted by local authorities in respect of those costs they have incurred in delivering such support and services.

That this House notes that under the provisions of Statutory Instrument No. 704 of 2000 among those items and expenses not to be treated as essential living needs of asylum-seekers are toys and other recreational items; notes that Article 31 of the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child recognises the right of the child to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child; notes also that many children's organisations are now collecting toys to be given to the children of asylum-seekers; and urges all honourable Members to support the collections and themselves to donate a toy.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 3 February 2000
That this House deplores the incompetence of the Home Office in failing to table the correct amendment to the Opposition Motion on Asylum and Immigration debates on 2nd February; notes that this resulted in a Prime Minister's amendment failing to be selected for the first time in the history of this House; and notes that this is entirely consistent with the chaos prevailing at the Home Office under the stewardship of the Right honourable Member for Blackburn.
