The headline on a column, page 5, G2, March 24, referred to "illegal asylum seekers" and the text itself referred to "illegal refugees" as opposed to "real asylum seekers". The use of these terms is contrary to the guidelines of the Press Complaints Commission and the Guardian's own policy which recognises that in law there is no such thing as an illegal asylum seeker (see the readers' editor's column: Seeking asylum without prejudice, April 24, 2004).
