Early Day Motion 2264 – Living Ghosts Campaign
That this House believes that the principle of `work for those who can, support for those who can't' should extend to everyone in the UK, including people seeking asylum; notes that thousands of people seeking asylum are ending up destitute rather than returning to poverty and/or persecution; supports Church Action on Poverty's Living Ghosts campaign, which aims to end the needless destitution of people seeking asylum; believes that it is in the interest of the whole of UK society for people seeking asylum to be allowed to take paid employment while they are in this country or NASS support if the are unable to work; and recognises that this would stop many people disappearing into destitution.

An Early Day Motion (EDM) is a way for an individual MP to show that they are aware and supportive of a specific issues. An EDM does not change the law, but it does show Government ministers that this is an important issues. Many MPs like EDMs because they are a specific, simple action they can take. Some MPs are unable to sign EDMs because they are some sort of government or oppoostion minister. Nonetheless it is still worth writing to them to raise the issue.
