On the last page of "The Future Relationship with the EU", published by the govt last month, is this statement on family reunion for child refugees. I welcome it, as far as it goes, and pay tribute to the campaign by @safepassageuk and others which has clearly had an impact 1/4 
We now must press the government for more specific details including, importantly, how the right to family reunion in the UK for refugee children stranded in Europe would be protected in the event of no deal.

This weekend the refugee crisis in Europe boiled over. Another refugee child drowned in the Aegean. Tear gas was used against refugees inc. children. NGOs and journalists have been attacked and attempts made to stop migrants from disembarking.

The Greek authorities are overwhelmed by the disproportionate burden of hosting 36,000 refugees in reception centres designed for 6,000. They are no place for children. The UK govt can and must do more to help. All nations have a part to play in easing this global tragedy.
