Asylum: Children
(asked on 16th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Attorney General:
What discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the legal implications of Clause 37 of the European Union (Withdrawal Agreement) Bill.
This question was answered on 16th January 2020
I cannot comment on Cabinet discussions, or on whether or not I have given legal advice.
What I can say is that the Government remains fully committed to the principle of family reunion and supporting the most vulnerable children. Clause 37 of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill does not represent a change of government policy in that regard. It simply removes the statutory requirement to negotiate.
