Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 December 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Asylum System.


Asylum System

I am very grateful to the right hon. Lady for allowing me to intervene. As someone who has a huge number of asylum cases in his constituency, may I say that this is one of the most unacceptable changes in policy ever, as it is impractical and completely arrogant and insensitive? I am glad that the right hon. Lady has sought this debate and I hope that her plea to the Minister will make him realise, as I believe his officials do already, that this is a system that cannot justifiably be allowed to continue.
