Asylum Seekers in Scotland

I would like to get some clarity on children in hotels. I think that it was last week that Andy Sirel from JustRight Scotland mentioned in his evidence that unaccompanied children were housed in a hotel, which he did not locate geographically. Gayle, can you give me an idea of what Andy Sirel was referring to? Can you shed any light on that? How many unaccompanied children are local authorities dealing with? Are they mainly in hotels, or have they gone on to dispersal accommodation?

No problem at all. I was just conscious that you would end up being last, Fulton.

Can I just interject? Susanne Millar has indicated that she would like to come in, and I would like to bring her in now, before she has to leave for another meeting.

Meeting of the Parliament

Europe Day 2023 and Alignment with European Union Laws

Meeting date: 9 May 2023

Kaukab Stewart

The day-to-day impacts of Brexit are being felt across many industries. Based in my constituency of Glasgow Kelvin, GMAC Film is an organisation that trains budding film makers from all backgrounds, and it has provided to me first hand its account of how difficult post-Brexit bureaucracy has made working across Europe.

Glasgow and Scotland more widely are proudly internationalist. Does the minister agree that, although we do everything that is in our Parliament’s ability to remain aligned with the EU, the only way to ensure that we do not continue down the same path as this isolationist UK Government is through full EU membership as an independent nation?

Meeting of the Parliament

First Minister’s Question Time

Meeting date: 4 May 2023

Kaukab Stewart

The situation in Sudan is worsening by the day. The sister-in-law of one my Glasgow Kelvin constituents is currently trapped in Khartoum as violence worsens across the region. I understand that the Eritrean police and security services are actively rounding up those attempting to flee. I also gather that at least three people have died while being transported from Khartoum to Shagarab refugee camp and that many more people have been kidnapped while they are trying to leave the capital city. Does the First Minister agree that that underlines the need for safe and legal routes to seek asylum within the United Kingdom? Can he provide assurances that Scotland will do all that it can within its devolved competencies to support victims caught up in this awful nightmare?
