EDM 1590: Proposals to resettle people from Palestine in the United Kingdom

That this House notes with deep concern reports of proposals and pressures to resettle Palestinian migrants from Gaza or elsewhere in the UK; recognises the acute and complex security, integration and social cohesion challenges such resettlement would pose; further notes that the UK has already experienced significant strain on its housing, public services and community relations due to recent high levels of immigration; believes that responsibility for displaced persons in the Middle East should lie primarily with regional actors better placed to offer culturally and geographically-appropriate refuge; and calls on the Government to make clear that it will not participate in any resettlement scheme for Palestinian migrants.
