A Place of Safety: Supporting Asylum Seekers in Scotland

As an amendment to motion S5M-14548 in the name of Aileen Campbell (A Place of Safety: Supporting Asylum Seekers in Scotland), leave out from first "asylum system" to "at all times" and insert "current UK asylum system fails to treat people with dignity or respect their human rights, particularly in relation to the deliberate use of destitution as a policy tool; calls on the UK Government to take urgent steps to end the threat of destitution and to implement immediately the outstanding recommendations in paragraph 96(4) of the Smith Commission report; congratulates the many individuals, communities and organisations that have worked to welcome and support asylum seekers in Glasgow and elsewhere in Scotland, including by mobilising practical opposition to evictions and lock changes".
