Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many children have been brought to the UK from Northern France and other parts of Europe under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2017.

In 2016, we transferred over 900 unaccompanied children to the UK from Europe, including more than 750 from France as part of the UK’s comprehensive support to the Calais camp clearance. On 30 November we published data on transfers of children from Calais:

220 of those transferred met the criteria under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016.
We are fully committed to delivering on our commitment to transfer the specified number of 480 children under section 67 and are working closely with Member States, as well as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and NGO partners to identify and transfer children to the UK in line with each individual Member State’s national laws

Further transfers of eligible children under section 67 have taken place this year and transfers are ongoing.
