Refugee Family Reunion

Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 June 2018. It occurred during Backbench debate on Refugee Family Reunion.

My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech, because she is talking about some of the practical steps the Government can take. Children I have visited in the Calais camps—as close as that—have the prima

facie right under the Dubs amendment and Dublin III to come here but are simply not being assessed. They will therefore eventually will risk their lives under trains or lorries in order to get here. Those are the sorts of issues, along with the funding of English language teaching and the right of asylum seekers to work here, that would make a practical difference and would help this country.
