Abolition Of The Right To Appeal For Visitors To The UK

EDM number 801 in 1992-93, proposed by Graham Allen on 11/11/1992.

That this House deplores the attack upon the rights of Black, Asian and ethnic minority and other British and settled families in the United Kingdom by the Conservative Government's proposal to abolish the right of appeal for those visitors to the United Kingdom who are wrongly denied entry; notes that last year 1,700 individuals from the Asian sub-continent alone won their appeal against unjust refusal and were allowed into the United Kingdom to visit friends and relatives; notes that in future thousands of similar unjust refusals will not be overturned if the right to appeal is abolished; and calls for honourable Members to petition the Conservative Prime Minister to withdraw this proposal from the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Bill immediately.

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