Since Parliament returned after the General Election I have been contacted by many constituents who have raised questions surrounding the Withdrawal Agreement Bill’s amendment to section 17 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, which concerns the family reunification of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. I am grateful to all those that have contacted me on such an important issue.

I think there are two separate points to be addressed – and these have been somewhat conflated in the debate around the amendment that was debated and voted upon last week.
