Mrs Teresita Bentley

EDM number 65 in 1995-96, proposed by Dudley Smith on 20/11/1995.

That this House believes that Mrs Teresita Bentley of Leamington Spa, a well-educated, professional woman from the Philippines, should not be deported from this country, following her High Court failure to secure custody of her two-year-old daughter, Catherine, and that such an enforced separation would deny her permanent right of access to her child via her English husband, in a callous and insensitive way, not in keeping with the United Kingdom's reputation for justice and fair play in humanitarian issues.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
