Asylum Seekers & Social Security
EDM number 1512 in 1994-95, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 25/10/1995.
That this House is appalled at the announcement by the Secretary of State for Social Security that he intends to remove entitlement to income support for asylum applicants; notes that the existing regulations only allow payment of 90 per cent. of income support; finds his proposals odious and discriminatory and contrary to the spirit of the 1951 Geneva Convention on Asylum; and notes that the effect will be to remove support from up to 50,000 people, many of whom are fleeing from gross injustice and violence, and that their children will suffer from the inhumanity of this.
This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
