Rejected petition Reinstate the scheme allowing refugee children into the UK (the Dubs amendment)

Ministers announced on Wednesday they would stop arrivals in March once they reached 350 - far fewer than the 3,000 originally expected.

We as a country should be doing so much more to help vulnerable children and to fall nearly 90% short of doing what many feel is the bare minimum is shameful.
