That this House notes with considerable concern the findings of
leading refugee welfare charities that the threat of economic
destitution and removal of the children of failed asylum seekers who
refuse to leave the UK, as set out in section 9 of the Asylum and
Immigration Act 2004, has driven failed asylum seekers further
underground; further notes that out of 116 failed asylum-seeking
families targeted in a 12 month pilot scheme only one family has left
the country; deplores the fact that 60 families have had all state
housing and welfare support withdrawn and 32 families have lost all
contact with social services leaving their children acutely
vulnerable; believes that section 9 has failed to achieve its intended
purpose; and calls on the Government to repeal this ineffective and
inhumane section of the Asylum and Immigration Act 2004.<br>
