Immigration Bill

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Immigration Bill.

The Minister’s point was effectively that the children who are alone in Greece now are Greece’s problem, but Save the Children has said that 2,000 children are alone in northern Greece and there are fewer than 500 child shelter places for them, and those are full. What does he really want those children to do when they are sleeping rough, being targeted by traffickers and smuggling gangs, and subjected to abuse? Does he really think that that is just Greece’s problem and that we should not do our bit too?
