REFUGEE TRAGEDY AT LAMPEDUSA

Early day motion 548, tabled 9 October 2013 by Jeremy Corbyn (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House is shocked at the deaths of 274 refugees off the island of Lampedusa; recognises that this is the latest in a long line of tragedies where 20,000 desperate refugees have died in unsafe vessels in the Mediterranean; and reminds all EU states that they have obligations under the Geneva Convention to provide a place of safety for asylum seekers and that the tragedy of drowning has to be met with humanity and concern not xenophobia against victims of poverty and oppression.

Signatures by party: Labour 14, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Alliance 1, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Green 1, Plaid Cymru 1, Respect 1.
