DISTRIBUTION OF ASYLUM SEEKERS

Early day motion 633, tabled 16 December 2014 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 8 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 2, DUP 1, Independent 1.
