§ Mr. Martyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what representations he has received regarding the Asylum Bill.
§ Mr. Peter LloydSince July we have received approximately 200 letters from hon. Members forwarding correspondence from their constituents and about 820 letters from members of the public. A large proportion of these have been pro forma letters from members of organisations such as Amnesty International, Charter '87, A Charter for Refugees, and the Asylum Rights Campaign. The majority of correspondents have expressed opposition to one or more aspects of the Government's proposals.
