Relocation of aslyum seekers and refugees from Aegean Islands

Early day motion 922, tabled 23 September 2020 by Stuart McDonald (Scottish National Party). Signed by 74 members.

That this House recognises the deteriorating conditions faced by asylum seekers and refugees on the Aegean Islands and notes the recent fire at the Moria camp in Lesvos which has left 13,000 people without shelter; welcomes the fact that Germany, France and Norway have agreed to take some of those vulnerable people; and calls on the UK government to participate in relocating asylum seekers and refugees from the Aegean Islands to local authorities in the UK and to provide the necessary support to enable that relocation.
