Deaths Of Migrants In The Mediterranean

EDM number 400 in 2014-15, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 28/10/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Europe, Immigration, Shipping and Western Europe.

That this House is appalled at the loss of 2,500 migrants in the Mediterranean since January 2014; commends all those who have tried to rescue these desperate people, many of whom are victims of war, environmental disaster and civil unrest; is shocked that from 1 November 2014 the Italian sea rescue operation Mare Nostrum will cease and only be replaced by border patrols within 30 miles of the coast; and accordingly calls on the Government to support a proper humanitarian protection operation to help save the lives of these desperate victims of human-created disasters.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
