HARDtalk:
asylum debate
On
BBC News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Wednesday 5 February 2003), Mike
Embley introduces a debate about the British asylum system,
under attack with allegations that it is out of control and without
proper regulation.
The
issue exercising the British Government and opposition parties is
how to establish a system for dealing with asylum seekers which
is humane and yet safeguards the public from a potential terrorist
threat.
Mike
Embley talks to Claude Moraes, Labour MEP and former Head
of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, and Simon
Heffer, Daily Mail Columnist.
