Detention Of Children (EDM139)

Detention Of Children

EDM number 139 in 2009-10, proposed by Chris Mullin on 19/11/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Immigration.

That this House notes with concern that around 2,000 children are detained each year in immigration detention centres, some for periods of several months; further notes the opinion of Save the Children and the Children's Commissioner that this is unjustified and damaging; further notes that families with children are among the least likely to abscond; further notes that some EU and Commonwealth countries have successfully introduced solutions other than secure detention for families who have exhausted their asylum claims; and urgently calls on the Government to end the practice of holding children in immigration detention centres.

This motion has been signed by a total of 121 MPs.
