The motion

That this House congratulates the Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group (GDWG) in their 30th anniversary year; notes that for three decades since migrants began being detained at holding centres adjacent to Gatwick Airport, volunteers of the GDWG have been visiting detainees, sharing their stories, and campaigning to improve the conditions and circumstances of the use of detention centres; and further notes that their work plays a vital role in ensuring the psychological and physiological needs of detainees are being met and bringing attention to the human costs of indefinite detention.
