The motion

That the Parliament recognises the one-year anniversary of the fire that destroyed what it considers was the horrific Moria refugee camp, on Lesvos; understands that refugees from Afghanistan who were not part of the initial evacuation will inevitably arrive at Greek island camps through irregular routes; calls on the UK Government to allow the relocation and family reunion to the UK of Afghan asylum seekers from Greece; further calls for the removal of what it believes to be a two-tier system proposed in the UK Government's Nationality and Borders Bill that will penalise asylum seekers entering the UK via irregular routes, and urges the UK Government to grant amnesty for all Afghan asylum seekers who are currently in the asylum system in the UK, and to provide full financial support to enable Scottish local authorities to resettle Afghan refugees in their area.
