Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the safety of unaccompanied refugee children who have not been placed in alternative accommodation or registered with the French authorities after the demolition of the camp in Calais; and what steps the Government is taking in conjunction with the French authorities to help ensure the safety of those children.
The clearance of the camp is a French-led operation, but we have been working very closely with the French authorities to ensure that it is delivered as safely as possible, and that children are properly protected. We are committed to ensuring that minors eligible to come to the UK under the Dublin Regulation or the wider criteria of the Dubs amendment continue to be transferred as quickly as possible.
