Refugees (Family Reunion) (No.2) Bill

We have to understand and be very clear that the pull factor cannot happen, because the person has to be deemed to be a refugee. All we are doing is giving under-18s in general the same rights as adults. If the pull factor is anywhere, it is with adults who can come legally, but the pull factor just does not and will not exist—the hon. Gentleman has to move

away from it—because the person has to be a refugee. The Bill applies only to refugees and the Government will grant that.
