Latest news is that a debate has been secured on this crucial issue in the House of Lords on 9th January. Lord Roberts, LD4SOS President, said this afternoon :
This follows on from Liberal Democrats for Seekers of Sanctuary deep concern for help for fleeing Syrians seeking sanctuary. Lord Roger Roberts, has also written to David Cameron, Teresa May and leading parliamentarians saying :
Other LD4SOS members have been contacting Mark Harper and their constituency MPs demanding that they back moves for the UK to admit Syrian Refugees, and Lord Roberts has been demanding a relaxation of the financial criteria for Syrian nationals resident in the UK to bring their families here.
We will continue to keep on pressing the case, and look forward to a positive response to Lord Roberts’ plea for a European wide programme to give the help and support so badly needed.
