Flintshire County Council

The meeting will consider a notice of motion, a formal proposal put to the full Council, from Cllr Helen Brown. The motion asks the Council to withdraw from the Nation of Sanctuary programme and to write to the Home Secretary about asylum accommodation. No minute has been published yet, so no decision is recorded.

1. Motion to withdraw from the Nation of Sanctuary programme

   Proposed

   The motion, put forward by Cllr Helen Brown, proposes that the Council withdraw from the Nation of Sanctuary programme.

   Why

   The motion says the programme is voluntary, not a legal duty, and that immigration and asylum are matters for the UK Government and the Home Office. It cites residents' concerns about asylum accommodation and the lack of meaningful local consultation, and says the Council can meet its equality and human rights duties without the programme. It says the motion would refocus the Council on its legal duties.

   Papers: Notice of Motion

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
