Seven Glasgow MPs walked out of a crisis meeting held to address "deadly accommodation" arrangements that are being faced by asylum seekers in the city.
It is the second time for the local representatives to storm a meeting organised with government officials to discuss a proposed "evaluation" into the impact of Covid-19 on asylum seekers.
The group previously walked out of a meeting with John Taylor of Mears Group on June 26, citing “trust issues” - only a few hours before the Park Inn Incident.

Refugee, migrant, housing and human rights charity Positive Action in Housing are now repeating calls for a full, independent inquiry into the housing conditions faced by refugees and asylum seekers - which has gathered over 1500 signatures from organisations across Scottish civic society.
This follows the death of 30-year-old Adnan Olbeh while under the care of the Home Office and the Park Inn Incident, where one man was shot dead and six people were severely injured following a knife attack in the city centre hotel.
Concerns have repeatedly been raised about the welfare of hundreds of asylum-seekers who were forced from their homes and moved to hotels earlier during the pandemic, including survivors of persecution, children and victims of human trafficking.
Positive Action in Housing director, Robina Qureshi, has now accused the Home Office of carrying out an "inside job" amid their proposed "evaluation" as she repeats demands for a full public inquiry.
She said: “Positive Action in Housing will not be cooperating with the Home Office “evaluation”, following the Glasgow MPs’ 2nd walkout in less than 2 months.
"This was an inside job from the start to appease calls for a public inquiry. The investigation lacked credibilit and independence - just look at the way the Home Office announced an “evaluation” without any framework or explanation. I
"It was ill-thought out. After not one but two major catastrophes in the city concerning hotels and the mental health of Glasgow asylum seekers, we reiterate our demand for a full independent inquiry.
"We need an investigation into this deadly accommodation crisis and for all the questions that need answering to be addressed.
"Nothing less will do.”
The Glasgow Times has approached the Scottish Government for comment.
