That this House acknowledges the role of Her Majesty the Queen as Head of the Commonwealth; welcomes the contribution that has been made to the UK by Commonwealth citizens; notes the research carried out by the Migration Observatory estimating that there are up to 50,000 Commonwealth-born persons in the UK who are undocumented residents; is deeply concerned at the treatment of some Commonwealth citizens, including those from Barbados by the Home Office; and calls on the Government to address this issue ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in April 2018.
