This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Susan Aitken:- "Council condemns the ongoing use of the Dungavel detention centre to hold asylum seekers in captivity indefinitely while their applications are processed. Council notes and endorses the report of the Joint Inquiry by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Refugees & the All Party Parliamentary Group on Migration. "The Report of the Inquiry into the Use of Immigration Detention in the United Kingdom". Council notes, in particular, the evidence provided of the beneficial application of community-based solutions in countries such as Sweden and Canada. Council therefore calls on the Chief Executive to write to the relevant UK Government to express our strong resolve that Dungavel, and all other UK detention centres, should be closed in favour of a community-based model of assessment for those seeking asylum in Scotland and the wider United Kingdom.".
