As an amendment to motion S6M-19252 in the name of Russell Findlay (Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing), leave out from “believes” to end and insert “recognises the UK’s obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention to offer protection and sanctuary to those fleeing persecution and conflict; further recognises that many people who are seeking asylum do so as a direct consequence of decades of UK foreign policy and imperial intervention; rejects the hostile environment created by successive UK administrations’ immigration policies, which have restricted the rights of migrants and people seeking asylum and forced many into poverty and destitution; celebrates the contribution of New Scots to the culture, public services and communities of Scotland; urges the UK Government to urgently establish safe and regular routes for people seeking asylum, reject divisive and xenophobic policies that are harming communities, and restore dignity and respect in the UK's immigration and asylum system, and supports a compassionate, rights-based approach that welcomes refugees and asylum seekers as members of Scotland’s communities.”

Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing

Submitted by: Graham Simpson, Central Scotland, Reform UK
Date lodged: Tuesday, 04 November 2025
Motion type: Motion For Debate
Motion reference: S6M-13750
Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 05 November 2025

That the Parliament notes that the suspension of local connection referrals in 2022 did not change the rights of newly recognised refugees to choose where they settle in Scotland, nor did it prevent Scottish local authorities from referring households presenting as homeless to an English or Welsh local authority with which they have a local connection; reaffirms that Scotland is a welcoming nation to people fleeing persecution, seeking safety and who have been granted refugee status, ensuring that they can rebuild their lives in the country through the New Scots Refugee Integration Strategy; highlights action in Scotland to tackle homelessness and destitution, including new prevention measures in the Housing (Scotland) Bill, increased investment in affordable homes and the £4 million investment in homelessness prevention pilots, alongside the extension of rapid rehousing transition plan funding of £8 million into 2026-27, and calls again on the UK Government to urgently uphold the European Convention on Human Rights, 1951 Refugee Convention and 1967 Protocol.

Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Wednesday, 08 October 2025

As an amendment to motion S6M-19252 in the name of Russell Findlay (Stopping Illegal Immigration and Recognising its Impact on Housing), insert at end "; believes that the Scottish Government’s suspension of local connection rules has placed unsustainable pressure on housing and public services in certain communities; notes that Scotland faces a housing emergency exacerbated by poor planning, underinvestment and a failure to meet housebuilding targets; calls for a homelessness policy that ensures that support is targeted towards those with lawful residence and genuine need, and urges the Scottish Government to prioritise housing delivery, restore local connection criteria and ensure that immigration policy does not undermine the availability of homes for citizens in Scotland."
