Supporting the right to work while claiming asylum

The words for the petition is:

The principle of `work for those who can, support for those who can't' should extend to everyone in the UK, including people seeking asylum; notes that thousands of people seeking asylum are ending up destitute rather than returning to poverty and/or persecution; supports Church Action on Poverty's Living Ghosts campaign, which aims to end the needless destitution of people seeking asylum; believes that it is in the interest of the whole of UK society for people seeking asylum to be allowed to take paid employment while they are in this country or NASS support if the are unable to work; and recognises that this would stop many people disappearing into destitution.

The online petition is on the official Downing st website so is actually legitimate. For more please go to:
