Content: Dr Murray gives evidence on the impact of asylum on social cohesion on local communities in the UK. The questions he deals with are: "Should religion or culture be taken into account when considering whether to grant an asylum seeker refugee status in the UK?", "Is there evidence that asylum seekers have a negative impact on social cohesion in communities in the UK?", "Can local leaders improve social cohesion by taking a key role in welcoming new arrivals and explaining to the host community why they have come to the UK?", "Have'nt Britain's communities been incredibly flexible and resilient in coping with and adapting to recent arrivals - whether they are asylum seekers or economic migrants?" and "Is it fair to view those who settle here as threats to social cohesion rather than contributors to it?"
