GM Faith Leaders: Nationality and Borders Bill

NBB Open Letter

Greater Manchester Faith Community Leaders: An Open Letter to Greater Manchester MPs on the Nationality and Borders Bill

The Nationality and Borders Bill returns to the House of Commons shortly.

It will be debated in the light of the urgent contemporary need to provide safe havens for the many fleeing the conflict in Ukraine. Proposals in the Bill would make it harder for them to seek sanctuary here.

There are other people, in similar need, especially unaccompanied children and the elderly, fleeing conflicts that are out of the public gaze right now, whether from Afghanistan, Syria, Eritrea or other hotbeds of violence, persecution or personal mortal danger.
