I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Hampstead and Highgate (Ms Jackson) on 27 November 2000,Official Report, column 446W.

Mr. Simon Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to change the rules governing asylum seekers' ability to undertake(a) voluntary work and (b) paid employment; and if he will make a statement. [141705]

Mrs. Roche

[pursuant to her reply, 11 December 2000, c. 51W]: The answer should have read that I have no plans to limit the ability of asylum seekers to undertake unpaid voluntary work rather than "paid" voluntary work as given in my original reply.
