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 do not wish to take up any more time, but I hope that the Minister will respond to me as well as to the right hon. Lady. This issue could be dealt with just as well and as efficiently, addressing all the relevant objectives, if it were dealt with regionally, without the huge disadvantage that the present system of going to Liverpool causes to individuals and their families. All the policy objectives could be achieved in that way, there would be face-to-face engagement and the system would be just as efficient.
