Mr Peter Lloyd, Home Office Minister said that the term
"Economic migrant" is not a distinct category in the
determination of asylum claims. Asylum seekers come to the
United Kingdom for various reasons. Economic factors are often
significant. Applications fall to be determined according to
the criteria laid down in the United Nations convention.
