A group of migrants pictured in the Channel. Priti Patel s Nationality and Borders Bill could, if passed, see such boats forced out of UK waters I DIDN’T know whether to laugh or cry while reading the letter from Clark Cross (July 8).

In fact asylum seekers are kept in very basic accommodation, are denied the opportunity to work, and are given less than £40 per week to survive on.

ALLAN Thompson (Letters, July 2) complains that the Scottish Government is fabricating grievances over the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, a treaty which the UK already signed up to in the 1990s.

Large care homes are typically built in wings or as separate units . If these had been properly managed, outbreaks should have been no different to smaller homes. A 120-place care home, divided into four 30-bed units, should have had the same infection rates as a 30-place home, while a 60-place home divided in three, the same as a 20-place home. ....
