The Prime Minister said the Government would "go around local authorities" to see if the UK could take more children from the camps in Europe following increasing pressure over the issue, including from his own backbenchers. Speaking at Prime Minister's Questions, Mr Cameron said Britain already took some vulnerable children from Calais who had a family connection but the Government would now go beyond this to take child refugees from Europe. He added that the Government was in talks with the charity, Save the Children, on how the Government can help unaccompanied children in European camps. Mr Cameron said he would not send back the new amendment by Lord Dubs to accept Syrian refugee children from Europe because it no longer gave a specific number.
