Reinstate the acceptance of unaccompanied child refugees.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Britain has had a proud tradition of accepting child refugees, including the Kindertransport. The numbers of child refugees accepted under the Dubs amendment (before the reversal of the policy was announced) was less than one per local authority: we can, and should, do more.
