Case Of Ernesto Leal

EDM number 2169 in 2005-06, proposed by Pete Wishart on 15/05/2006.

That this House notes with concern the arrest and proposed deportation of Ernesto Leal in the Home Office's round-up of foreign criminals; further notes that Ernesto Leal arrived in this country with his family almost 30 years ago after fleeing General Pinochet's regime where his father had been tortured; further notes that Ernesto's status in this country has never been in question and although convicted of a crime, as a first-time offender with no previous convictions, he served eighteen months on the judge's recommendation and was then released and strictly adhered to his probation requirements; further notes Ernesto Leal's contribution to the community which is reflected by the wide ranging support from those involved in the UK's cultural life; believes that Ernesto Leal poses no threat to society; and hopes that the Home Office will recognise that Ernesto Leal does not pose a threat and should be allowed to remain in this country.

This motion has been signed by a total of 57 MPs.
