The motion

That this House notes with deep concern reports of proposals and pressures to resettle Palestinian migrants from Gaza or elsewhere in the UK; recognises the acute and complex security, integration and social cohesion challenges such resettlement would pose; further notes that the UK has already experienced significant strain on its housing, public services and community relations due to recent high levels of immigration; believes that responsibility for displaced persons in the Middle East should lie primarily with regional actors better placed to offer culturally and geographically-appropriate refuge; and calls on the Government to make clear that it will not participate in any resettlement scheme for Palestinian migrants.
