Zimbabwean Asylum Seekers And The Right To Work (EDM1293)

Zimbabwean Asylum Seekers And The Right To Work

EDM number 1293 in 2005-06, proposed by Kate Hoey on 19/12/2005.

That this House accepts that Zimbabweans refused asylum in the UK cannot be returned to Zimbabwe because of conditions prevailing in that country; is concerned that their ineligibility for state benefits renders many destitute; and calls on the Home Secretary to grant them the right to work so they can support themselves financially and make a contribution to society during their time in the UK while developing their professional and technical skills in order to contribute to the rebuilding of Zimbabwe once political change renders it safe for them to return.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs.
