Quotes:

1) Jack Straw - New Labour - Home Secretary - 27th July 1998

"In opposition, I said that, in a civilised society, genuine asylum
seekers could not be left destitute, and I am honouring that
commitment today"

2) Withdrawal of Asylum Support - New Labour Statement - 2nd December
2002

"Single people and childless couples will receive no support - no
food, cash or accommodation - unless they claim asylum as soon as
they arrive at a UK port"

3) Nick Hardwick - Chief Executive - British Refugee Council - 2nd
December 2002

"We are appalled by these new measures which will throw thousands of
asylum seekers into destitution and add to the chaos in the asylum
system. & There is no sound factual basis for discriminating against
those who claim asylum once they are in the UK - in fact the Home
Office's own figures show that currently around 65 per cent of
positive decisions are given to in-country applicants"
