Immigration and Asylum Scottish Parliament Motion Motion S5M-19544 Rona Mackay (SNP): Refugee Women and Children in Northern France – That the Parliament acknowledges the ongoing refugee crisis in northern France where approximately 1,700 people are still living in makeshift camps that are subject to regular clearings; understands that those living in the camps continue to have extremely limited access to basic sanitation, food, health, legal services and psychological support and, as the camps are not policed, considers that women and children in particular are incredibly vulnerable; further understands that the services available to the people in camps are only possible due to donations and the work of volunteers, many of whom have travelled from Scotland, and commends the work of the Refugee Women’s Centre, which is coordinating and providing vital support to the people in northern France with limited resources at a time when it considers that media coverage of the crisis has lessened. https://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx?SearchType=Advance& ReferenceNumbers=S5M-19544 1 UK Parliament Statement No-deal Brexit: Immigration The Minister for Security (Brandon Lewis) [HCWS42] The Government priority remains to leave the European Union on the basis of the draft withdrawal agreement reached on 17 October 2019. However, it is appropriate that we also continue to make the preparations necessary in the event that we leave without a deal. To that end, the Government are laying before Parliament today the Immigration (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. Further to the written ministerial statement made by my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary on 4 September 2019 (HCWS1817), this will deliver changes in immigration arrangements for EU citizens which reflect the fact that, in a no deal scenario, free movement as it currently stands will end when we leave the European Union. In particular, to increase security and better protect the public, the measure, and associated changes in the immigration rules contained in the “Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules” (HC 170) which the Home Secretary is laying before Parliament today, will mean that a UK conduct and criminality threshold rather than an EU threshold will be applied for EU citizens and their family members moving to the UK after a no deal Brexit. The measures will also apply those thresholds to the post-exit conduct of EU citizens and their family members living here before a no deal Brexit, or who have EU settlement scheme status, and to their pre-exit conduct where their post-exit conduct results in a sentence of imprisonment. This will bring the approach to EU citizens more into line with how we treat non-EU nationals and make our system simpler and fairer. In addition, the Immigration (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 make changes to the documentary evidence which may be relied upon by EU citizens and their family members for admission to the UK. They also remove the scope for EU citizens and their family members moving to the UK after a no deal Brexit to acquire permanent residence under EU law and the scope for UK nationals and their family members moving to the EU after a no deal Brexit to return here under current EU law-based arrangements. The “Statement of Changes in Immigration Rules” (HC 170) establishes the European temporary leave to remain scheme, for European economic area (EEA) and Swiss citizens moving to the UK after a no deal Brexit and before the start of the new points-based immigration system from January 2021, and for their close family members, to enable them to obtain a UK immigration status so that they can continue living and working here for a temporary period after 2020. In line with previous policy announcements, it also provides access to the EU settlement scheme—under which EEA and Swiss citizens resident here before Brexit can obtain UK immigration status—for relevant family members joining them here after a no deal Brexit, by 29 March 2022 in the case of existing close family members and by 31 December 2020 for other relevant family members. Taken together, these changes will begin the process of taking back control of our borders and preparing the way for a new, fairer immigration system which operates in the national interest. … https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2019-10-24/debates/19102438000016/No- DealBrexitImmigration The statement referred to above can be read at https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers- statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-09-04/HCWS1817/ The statement of changes in immigration rules referred to above can be read at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment _data/file/841695/CCS1019317048- 001_Statement_of_changes_in_Immigration_Rules_Web_Accessible.pdf 2 UK Parliament, Ministerial Statement and Q&A Major Incident in Essex The Secretary of State for the Home Department (Priti Patel): Following the tragic discovery of 39 bodies in a shipping container in Essex this morning, I want to take this opportunity to update the House on the facts that are available so far. At 1.40 this morning, Essex police were alerted to an incident at the Waterglade industrial park on Eastern Avenue, Grays. At the scene, Essex police discovered a lorry container with 39 bodies inside. Early indications suggest that 38 of those found were adults and that one was a teenager. From what the police have been able to ascertain so far, the vehicle is believed to be from Bulgaria and to have entered the country at Holyhead in north Wales, one of the main ports for ferries from Ireland, on 19 October. Essex police have now launched a murder investigation. A 25-year-old man from Northern Ireland has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains in police custody as inquiries continue. The whole House will agree that this is a truly shocking incident. My thoughts and condolences are with the victims and their loved ones at this utterly terrible time. I am sure the whole House will convey its condolences at this sad time. While the nationalities of the victims are not yet known, I have asked my officials to work closely with the investigation and to provide all the assistance we can in these horrific circumstances. That is on top of the joint working that is taking place already between the police, Border Force, Immigration Enforcement, the National Crime Agency and other law enforcement agencies to ascertain exactly how the incident occurred. Day in and day out, they work tirelessly to secure our borders against a wide range of threats, including people trafficking. We will continue to work with international partners to keep people safe. This is a tragic loss of life. I and everyone in my team will continue to update the House as more facts on this dreadful incident become known. Diane Abbott (Labour): … Any death under these circumstances is truly appalling. The fact that there are 39 reported deaths in this incident makes it a terrible tragedy—one of the worst of its kind. Each of the 39 will have partners, family and friends who perhaps even now do not know how their loved one died and in what horrible circumstances. I am sure I speak for the whole House when I say that our thoughts, prayers and wishes go out to the bereaved and all the loved ones of the victims. I commend the emergency services for their work and share … the horror that these emergency service workers will have seen sights that will live with them forever. It is important to remember that these 39 poor, unfortunate people are the victims in this; they have been preyed on by the greedy, the unscrupulous and people with a wilful disregard for the lives of others. However, we should take account of the wider context. Nobody leaves their home on such a journey, with so much risk and fear, on a whim. They often do it because they are desperate; they can be the victims of economic privation, war, famine, catastrophic climate change. There are many adverse conditions that people flee from, but we should not lose sight of the fact that these people are victims. I would like an assurance from the Home Secretary that the co-operation with the EU27 on people trafficking, which is vital to ensure that such events do not happen in the future, will not become harder or be imperilled by our leaving the EU.It is important to raise the general conditions of refugees and asylum seekers. The Opposition have long argued that the Government should establish safe and legal routes for genuine refugees to make their way here.

Abstract This dissertation approaches news coverage of the 39 victims found dead in a lorry in Essex, in October 2019. After a complicated identification process mired with mistakes and mediated by newspapers, including the Essex police’s incorrect identification of the victims as Chinese, all 39 victims were finally identified as Vietnamese. This occurred against the backdrop of Vietnamese communities having been historically excluded from the UK’s public consciousness.

  • European Race Bulletin
    ISSN 1463 9696 Winter 2009 • Bulletin No 66 EUROPEAN RACE BULLETIN EUROPE’S SHAME A report on 105 deaths linked to racism or government migration and asylum policies By Liz Fekete This bulletin is part of a European Race Audit supported by the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust.

For further information contact Liz Fekete at the Institute of Race Relations, 2-6 Leeke Street, London WC1X 9HS. Email: [email protected] © Institute of Race Relations 2009 Introduction This issue of the Bulletin comprises a report of our research into deaths in the EU in 2007 and 2008 due to either racism or government migration and asylum policies. Those who died were asylum seekers, migrants, refugees, members of minority ethnic groups or targets of far-Right activity. Though we unearthed 105 deaths, we found that, all too often, such deaths are neglected by Europe’s political leaders, as well as its mainstream newspapers. Cases listed here, which took place within EU countries over the last two years, include murders by members of far-Right parties, racist killings, deaths that occurred in immigration removal centres or after contact with the police. Some people died at the hands of extremists, others because of the climate of racism and related intolerance which blights so much of the continent, and still more fell victim, one way or another, to Europe’s tough, unbending and inhuman asylum and immigration policies.
