National Asylum Support Service Voucher System (EDM1796)

National Asylum Support Service Voucher System

EDM number 1796 in 2005-06, proposed by Diane Abbott on 13/03/2006.

That this House notes that the National Asylum Support Service voucher system for asylum claimants was scrapped in 2001 after a campaign by trade unions, non-governmental organisations and refugee organisations; believes that vouchers are costly, fail to meet asylum seekers' needs, stigmatise this most vulnerable group and leave them open to hostility and abuse; further believes that vouchers should not be used as a method of support for asylum seekers or failed asylum seekers at any stage of the process; and calls on the Government to provide for those on section 4 support in cash rather than vouchers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 90 MPs.
