Make the Asylum seeker dispersal scheme mandatory to all councils in the U.K.
The process in which Asylum seekers are granted housing in the U.K. is dependant on councils that volunteer to be part of the scheme.
Currently, there is no mandatory requirement for all councils to participate meaning that councils are able to, and do abstain from the effort.
The humanitarian crisis we are facing should not be left only to those councils most willing, as it creates an unnecessarily large strain on some councils that should be shared.
At least 38 councils have not signed up to the scheme which includes the rehoming of refugee children who entered the UK alone.
The current voluntary system is unfair, and means that schools, healthcare resources and other public services in participating councils are needlessly overstretched.
