LABOUR peer Alf Dubs will launch a last-ditch bid on Tuesday to save legal protections for child refugees stranded in Europe.
The House of Lords will vote on Lord Dubs’s new amendment to the EU Withdrawal Bill in the afternoon to keep crucial rights for unaccompanied minors to be reunited with family in Britain.
Speaking at a rally outside Parliament today, Lord Dubs said he was “ashamed” of the government’s backtrack on legal protections for child refugees.
