Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Democratic Republic of the Congo
This country will welcome the Government's response, but there are many refugees from the Congo here. I have Congolese constituents, and I am sure that many other Members have as well. Can the Minister assure us that he is in touch with the Home Office to ensure that we are not sending people back who are at risk for the reasons that he has set out so clearly? Will he and the Home Office hold a joint briefing of Congolese people who are properly resident in the United Kingdom, so that they can be reassured that their interests and their families' needs are being looked after properly?
