Family Reunion Of Bosnian Refugees In The UK

EDM number 344 in 1993-94, proposed by Graham Allen on 13/01/1994.

That this House welcomes the fact that Bosnian ex-detainees who are admitted to the United Kingdom are allowed to be joined by their immediate families; regrets that other Bosnians who arrived here before visas were imposed are having to wait a year or longer for a decision to be made about their claim for asylum, and are then mainly being given exceptional leave to remain without the right to family reunion; notes that this means that their families may remain trapped and in danger in occupied Bosnia and unable to get out; and urges the Government to treat all Bosnians equally as regards family reunion, or alternatively to show generosity and humanity in responding to individual requests on compassionate grounds.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
