Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 March 2024. It occurred during Estimates day and Backbench debate on Asylum and Migration.


Asylum and Migration

The hon. Lady is making an excellent speech. Not every country in Europe behaves in the same way and tries to outsource or evade its human rights obligations by exporting refugees and asylum seekers. Does she agree that we ought to give asylum seekers the right to work much quicker so that they can join the labour force and contribute to the economy, rather than be held at great expense in totally unsatisfactory and often totally appalling conditions?
