Extending Free Bus Travel to All Asylum Seekers Resident in Scotland
The motion
That the Parliament commends the work of organisations that are supporting and amplifying the voices of asylum seekers in Scotland, including in Glasgow; considers that this includes organisations such as The VOICES Network, Refuweegee, Maryhill Integration Network, Refugee Survival Trust and Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland amongst others, and notes the reported calls from these organisations for free bus travel to be provided to asylum seekers by extending the existing concessionary travel schemes to include all asylum seekers currently residing in Scotland regardless of age.
