“The risk of harm to children outweighs any perceived damage to the effectiveness of the Government’s policy agenda,” Tory chair of the Women and Equalities Committee Caroline Nokes warns singharj reports
The risk of harm to asylum-seeking children who enter the UK on small boats outweighs any risk of damaging the Government’s aim to deter migrants from crossing the Channel through the Illegal Migration Bill, the cross-party Commons Women and Equalities Committee said.
The critical report is the latest in mounting pressure on the Government to change its approach to the treatment of asylum seekers, especially children. The committee meanwhile also concluded that Home Office policy could increase the risk of harm for people with characteristics protected under the Equality Act, including women with histories of gender-based violence and abuse, children, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and disabled people.
