Dubs resettlement scheme ended by Commons vote

It's shocking that the Dubs refugee arrangement has quietly been ended with very little debate. The commitment to take 3000 young refugees has ended, with only 350 being brought into the country.

The Government has blamed the strapped resources of local authorities which implies they are not a direct result of the extreme cuts to public services which are affecting all provision by councils. There is a legal challenge to the decision on the Dubs refugees in the high court 2-4 May.
