Nationality and Borders Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Simmonds (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 April 2022. It occurred during Debate on bills on Nationality and Borders Bill.

Is the hon. Gentleman aware, as I am, that the experience of local authorities involved in the resettlement of refugee children is that the majority of those brought to the UK on the basis of reunion with family are in fact coming straight into the care system because the relations in the UK are not able to look after them? It therefore seems to me that the Government are right to resist on this point and to seek an alternative and better way of managing the resettlement of unaccompanied children coming to the UK.
