DAWN RAIDS BY BORDER AGENCY STAFF

Early day motion 71, tabled 2 June 2015 by Stuart McDonald (Scottish National Party). Signed by 42 members.

That this House condemns the dawn raid reportedly carried out in Glasgow on 28 May 2015 during which it is understood that 20 UK Border Agency staff detained a family, including three young children and split the family up by immediately removing the mother and her children while the father remained in the UK; believes dawn raids to be inhumane; and calls for effective, humane and sustainable alternatives to be fully explored with a view to ending the practice.
