Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:49 pm on 20 September 2016.
Can I bring the First Minister back to today, rather than 30 years ago, which is rather more relevant? By the way, Gareth Bennett did not take the view that people coming from Syria are all economic migrants, but the whole point about the law on refugees is that you’re entitled to refugee status in the first country to which you go for protection from the country from which you’re coming, and that, in most cases, is Turkey. Once they get to Turkey, from there on, they are economic migrants. Would the First Minister first agree with me that that is the law?
