Britain ponders taking in more child migrants
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA British official says the government is considering whether to let unaccompanied minors settle in Britain.
International Development Secretary Justine Greening speaks Sunday as the UK faces mounting calls to do more to help migrants fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East and Africa. Greening indicates the government may decide to let several thousand child migrants into the country.
No decision has yet been made.
British charities and the leaders of opposition parties urged the government to let 3,000 more children start a new life in Britain.
Britain has said so far it will allow 20,000 Syrian refugees to settle in the next five years. In contrast, last year over 1 million asylum-seekers entered Germany.
