Calais Migrant Camp

EDM number 2058 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 15/10/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Immigration.

That this House believes that the existence of the Jungle migrant camp in Calais, France was inhumane; welcomes the action taken by the French authorities to close the camp, but is concerned that this is only a temporary measure; congratulates the British and French governments on their continued cooperation on the issue; notes that this is not solely a British and French problem; and calls for immediate and consistent action from countries across the European Union resulting in the issue being dealt with from the moment of arrival in Europe rather than at the last stage at the furthest edge of the continent.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
