Refugees: Deaths in Mediterranean and Aegean Seas

Lord Dubs Excerpts

Monday 11th April 2016 Lords Chamber

[The Earl of Courtown]

My Lords, I could not agree more. He has been of great help to many of us on the Front Bench. I remember once sitting in this position with him whispering answers to me during Question Time. We must also be aware that he is bringing attention to this country’s Walk for Truce, which is a very important thing.

[Lord Dubs (Lab)]

The noble Lord just said that the amendment regarding 3,000 children was “being considered”. That is news to us. Who is considering it and when will we know what the outcome is?

[The Earl of Courtown]

I am talking about the Commons consideration of Lords amendments.
