Amongst other items there is a resolution (put by the LibDems...) arguing that the right to work for asylum seekers should be reinstated.</p> <p> There will be an opportunity for anybody to ask questions and make points about the issue from the public gallery. To do this you need to get to the Town Hall reception by about 1.30pm on the day and register yourself. It might take them a while to get round to discussing this resolution but probably not later than 3pm.</p> <p> With growing numbers of destitute asylum seekers in Sheffield, without the right to benefits, accommodation or to work legally the problem is a real one. The Council has limited powers to change current legislation but it can and should publicise its opposition to a policy which creates poverty, crime and illegal low-wage work.</p> Politics Tue, 5 Dec 2006 12:39:08 +0000
