The child welfare implications of UK immigration and asylum policy, Adele D Jones. Manchester Metropolitan University 1998, pp148. This report derives from an investigation of literature, legislation and case law in immigration work with children and is supported by data gathered from interviews with 50 young people and 35 practitioners. It found "evidence of discrimination and inconsistencies in practice based on such factors as age, gender, nationality, country of origin and immigration status of parents." Available from: Dept. of Community Studies, Manchester Metropolitan University, 799 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury, Manchester M20 2RR.

The role of national parliaments in the creation of the European area of freedom, security and justice: an Italian point of view, Fabio Evangelisti. Paper presented at the "Conference on the Treaty of Amsterdam" (London) 19.6.98. pp1-9. In this paper Evangelisti, chairman of the parliamentary committee monitoring the implementation of the Schengen and Europol conventions, briefly recalls the democratic deficit in the EU's migration and security policies before introducing the original solution to the problem in an Italian context. In 1997 the Italian parliament set up a committee responsible for supervising the implementation of the Schengen Agreements and the Italian Europol unit. The originality of this committee is found in the fact that it may issue opinions binding the government on draft decisions.
