Closed End shelter for single male asylum seekers and restrict helping migrant boats

Closed on

We want the UK Government to copy Belgium and Italy. Belgium is no longer providing shelter for single male asylum seekers in order to prioritise families, women and children. Italy has restricted charities from rescuing multiple boats of migrants.

The UK Government should do the same as Belgium, and no longer provide access to free food or shelter while single men have their asylum applications processed.

The UK Government should do the same as Italy, and make it illegal for charities to rescue multiple boats of migrants. They should have to request access to a port and sail to it without delay after a rescue.

We believe the situation at present is unsustainable, and cannot continue.
