Distribution Of Asylum Seekers

EDM number 633 in 2014-15, proposed by Paul Flynn on 16/12/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Asylum and Housing.

That this House believes that asylum seekers should be homed widely in the country to assist community assimilation and to share fairly the strains and burdens on services that newcomers create; is astonished that Cardiff has 976 section 95 migrants, double the total in all of South East England outside of London and that Newport has 391, while the constituency of the Home Secretary has one and those of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Prime Minister have none; and calls on hon. Members to encourage their areas to accept their responsibilities and welcome at least the average total of migrants homed elsewhere.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
