As an amendment to motion S6M-19252 in the name of Russell Findlay (Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing), leave out from “illegal” to end and insert “the UK asylum system is in crisis and that, under the last UK Conservative administration, the system was ruined, with backlogs becoming out of control and thousands of vulnerable people, who have fled war, persecution and unimaginable trauma, stuck in hotels that are not fit for purpose; further believes that, not only must all asylum seekers be treated with dignity and compassion, there also needs to be a fair, effective immigration system that enforces the rules on who has the right to stay in the UK; notes the Liberal Democrats' calls for the UK Government to declare the asylum backlog a national emergency and set up Nightingale processing centres, independent from the Home Office and part of a dedicated new unit to take over processing asylum claims, in order to clear the backlog within six months, and calls on the UK Government to bring in these centres as soon as possible.”
