Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 December 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Asylum Seekers.


Asylum Seekers

I am sure that we will see some improvements. I know that my hon. Friend will keep a close eye on the changes coming online from February next year and will, quite rightly, hold the Home Office and Government to account on the issue. I welcome that, because it is important that as well as being improved, the system is seen to be accountable. Any individual can register a complaint with the police if they feel that serious misconduct has taken place. I appreciate that the group of people that we are talking about might have difficulty reaching the authorities, especially if they are returned to their country of origin. That is why it is important that we improve the complaints procedure and log any incidents that arise.
