DEPORTATION TO ZIMBABWE

Early day motion 416, tabled 27 June 2005 by Angus Robertson (Scottish National Party). Signed by 57 members.

That this House urges the UK Government to take swift action over the Zimbabwean Government's policy of Murumbatsvina which is causing the unnecessary displacement, starvation, and death of tens of thousands of the Zimbabwean population; further calls on the UK Government to suspend the possible deportation of the 116 Zimbabwean asylum seekers currently held in the United Kingdom until the internal crisis in Zimbabwe stabilises; and to that end supports the intervention of the United Nations and eagerly awaits the report of the UN's Special Envoy Anna Tibaijuka.

Signatures by party: Labour 22, Liberal Democrat 21, Scottish National Party 6, DUP 3, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
