Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 May 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

I warmly welcome what the Minister has said today. The Government have moved a considerable way as a result of what has happened in the other place.

It is so important that we do not send a message out to people traffickers that the floodgates will be open for them to profit more from what is being achieved. It is also important that we give local authorities the resources they need. They are already under huge pressure to house refugees, and it is important that we work with them. The Minister has done the right thing and I welcome it.
