Living Ghosts Campaign (EDM2264)

Living Ghosts Campaign

EDM number 2264 in 2005-06, proposed by John Battle on 25/05/2006.

That this House believes that the principle of `work for those who can, support for those who can't' should extend to everyone in the UK, including people seeking asylum; notes that thousands of people seeking asylum are ending up destitute rather than returning to poverty or persecution; supports Church Action on Poverty's Living Ghosts campaign, which aims to end the needless destitution of people seeking asylum; further believes that it is in the interest of the whole of UK society for people seeking asylum to be allowed to take paid employment while they are in this country or to be given National Asylum Support Services support if they are unable to work; and recognises that this would stop many people disappearing into destitution.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs.
