Support For Asylum Seeker Children

EDM number 465 in 1998-99, proposed by Diane Abbott on 23/03/1999.

That this House notes that the Government plans to take away all benefits from men, women and children currently seeking asylum, and that instead they will receive accommodation, food vouchers and a small amount in cash; further notes that the cash amount proposed for asylum seeker children is 50 pence a day; believes that no mother can meet the needs of a young child, over and above food and accommodation, on 50 pence a day; and urges the Government to reconsider this proposal.

This motion has been signed by a total of 111 MPs.
