The Prime Minister
I thank my hon. Friend for the campaign that he managed on Asia Bibi, and indeed others. It is very important that our country sends a clear signal that we will provide a beacon for people facing such distress and persecution.
Kate Green (Stretford and Urmston) (Lab)
Further to the Prime Minister’s answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Ealing Central and Acton (Dr Huq), will he commit his Government to lifting the ban on asylum seekers working if the state takes more than six months to resolve their case?
The Prime Minister
The Home Office is currently reviewing that matter, and we will make an announcement shortly.
