Government needs to live up to its moral and legal obligation to help people fleeing persecution and war
23 Jan 2017
Diane Abbott MP, Labour’s Shadow Home Secretary, speaking in response to reports that plans by councils to settle refugees have stalled without Government resources, said:
“Many councils across the country are willing to step up and take their share of refugees. But they cannot provide the housing and services these incredibly vulnerable people need without adequate support from the Home Office.
“This Tory Government needs to live up to its moral and legal obligation to help people fleeing persecution and war.”
