“This
testimony was from a survivor was moving and very brave.

“She was very clear. The Government’s offer of a 12-month immigration reprieve
is completely inadequate. Despite all they have gone through, it could still
result in deportation.

“Labour is very clear. We continue to argue for a full immigration amnesty for
survivors and indefinite leave to remain, which is in the gift of the Home
Secretary. Otherwise survivors and their families may never come forward to get
the support they need.

“The Government has already failed Grenfell residents in so many ways. It
should do the decent thing and remove the threat of deportation hanging over a
small number of deeply traumatised people.”
