Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to ensure that people in the Calais refugee sites have access to clean drinking water.

We have supported the French in their efforts to move all children from the camp in Calais to safe alternative accommodation across France. The protection of migrants in France remains the responsibility of the French Government, but we are absolutely committed to safeguarding and protecting these children.

Home Office staff escorted children on coaches during this operation, and will be visiting these centres to make sure those children who may be eligible to come to the UK continue to be assessed. Any welfare concerns they encounter will be highlighted to the French Government.
