Support asylum seeking families

UPDATE: I have handed in petition. Legislation comes into force 10/08/2015

Reverse the decision by the Home Office to reduce asylum support rates for children to the same as those for adults.

Why is this important?

On the 10/08/2015, levels of cash support for asylum seeking families will be cut drastically by the Home Office. Children will no longer receive more (needed as they are growing): every asylum seeker will receive £36.95. At least £16 per week cut per child.

Children's health will suffer as a result.

Say no to this amendment to asylum support and ensure basic conditions are met for these vulnerable children.

How it will be delivered

By recorded delivery on 5th August (to arrive on 6th)
Also by email.
