Printed Ephemera — 2001
Scrap the Voucher Scheme
Leaflet issued by the Committee to Defend Asylum Seekers, 2001. It carries the headline 'Scrap the voucher scheme. Stop this humiliation!'. There is also a photograph of an aisle in a Sainsbury's supermarket designated for people using food vouchers. The leaflet was produced as part of a successful campaign to end the voucher system imposed on asylum seekers in 2000. Under this scheme, asylum seekers were entitled to spend £36.54 per week on food and household items in participating supermarkets. The system was scrapped in 2002.
