This has special relevance to some cultures, where it is more acceptable for children to be cared for by extended family. We want a categoric assurance that children entrusted to the safe keeping of members of their family other than their fathers or mothers, or to friends, will not be separated as a result of the definition. 319 and 320 are designed to probe the timing point in the determination of asylum claims. We understand that when a claim is considered to have been determined, support can be cut off following a notice period. The explanatory notes describe this period as no fewer than 14 days.
Accommodation can be a particular problem.
I will not quote it, but anyone reading the memorandum from the Refugee Housing Association would realise how hard it is for refugees to obtain alternative accommodation. Their experience would put a big question mark over the 14-day period, especially in some parts of the country, but they feel that 14 days is insufficient.
