Reverse the decision to end the commitment to accept lone child refugees.

What the petition asks
The UK made a promise last year to accept vulnerable lone child refugees. These are children trapped in refugee camps without family or any kind of support. Today, the day before they go on holiday, the government decided to end this commitment, having accepted only 350 children. This is wrong.
