A Border Force officer carries a young child as a group of people thought to be migrants are brought into Dover, Kent, on a Border Force vessel following a number of small boat incidents in the Channel earlier today.
The Tories have stripped out protections for lone child refugees from its flagship immigration legislation, which will spell an end to EU freedom of movement rules in the UK.
MPs voted by 327 to 264 to remove an amendment made by peers, which would have mandated that the government ensure unaccompanied children in the EU can be relocated with close relatives in the UK.
Just six Conservative MPs rebelled to try and maintain the amendment – including David Davis, the former Brexit secretary.
The amendment to continue existing arrangements had been successfully moved in the House of Lords by refugee campaigner and Labour peer Lord Dubs, who fled the Nazis as a child on the Kindertransport.
Speaking during the debate, Conservative former cabinet minister Karen Bradley said it is “absolutely vital” to have safe and legal passages to the UK post-Brexit.
She said: “If we want to stop the small boats, if we want to stop the migrants being under the wheel arches of vehicles, if we want to deal with this, we need to deal with it by making sure there is a safe and legal passage.
“If I can quote Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who said, ‘There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river, we need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in’.
“If I can urge the minister to work with the Home Office and newly created Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to make sure upstream we’re dealing in source countries with how we stop people falling into the river, because we can’t deal with that problem just in the Channel.”
MPs also rejected Lords amendments to assess the end of freedom of movement on the social care sector, to give EU citizens granted permission to live in the UK physical evidence of their migration status, and to impose a 28-day limit on immigration detention for European Economic Area and Swiss nationals.
Liberal Democrat former minister Alistair Carmichael said in a statement: “The Windrush Scandal showed the devastating impact of the hostile environment on people who cannot easily prove their rights.
“By denying EU citizens physical proof of settled status, the Government risks making them the victims of a new Windrush-style scandal.”
Here is a full list of all the MPs who voted down the amendment.
