Immigration Bill

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

We have heard some passionate speeches about unimaginably difficult conditions, but we talk as if the United Kingdom is the only country capable of doing something about the crisis. We forget that the United Kingdom taxpayer has given more than the rest of the European Union together to help Syrian refugees. Does the hon. Gentleman not think that if these circumstances existed in the United Kingdom, our social services would have taken care of those children? Does he not think that other European countries could be doing a rather better job of looking after those children who happen to be in their borders?
