Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on reuniting unaccompanied Afghan child refugees in Qatar with relatives in the UK; and what discussions she has had with international partners to help settle those children who have no relatives in other countries.
The Home Office is continuing to work with local authorities in the UK and authorities in the USA to ensure the best interests of the children are met when deciding where the children are ultimately settled.
We are working with the utmost urgency to ensure that, where it is in their best interests, these children are brought to the UK. Where the children cannot be safely settled in the UK they will be settled in the USA. None of them children remain in Qatar.
