Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 November 2025

Debate

Settlement: British National Overseas Route

Contribution

The case for legal migration and for those genuinely seeking asylum is undermined by evidence that businesses in Station Road in my constituency are using and exploiting migrants to carry out illegal trading. Local businesses are shocked and frustrated that when the police raid those premises, they remain open and continue trading. Will the Government consider bringing forward legislation to provide for the immediate closure of illegally trading shops?
