It is ridiculous to keep saying that immigration is not controlled, only yesterday I heard of a Zimbabean asylum seeker quite cruely, unjustly being deported, as many others have been and still are.

The UNHCR has disclosed that it met the Conservative front bench twice in recent months to express its unease about the party's plans. The UN body said yesterday it would consider withholding its cooperation were a Tory government to try to impose a quota of refugees drawn from a UNHCR-supplied list. The body is opposed to the Tories' proposal to withdraw from the Geneva convention. "The 1951 convention is one of the main human rights conventions in the world and to withdraw from it would have a detrimental effect on the commitment of other European countries," a spokesman said.
