Context
The debate revolves around the UK's commitment to maintaining legal routes for family reunion post-Brexit transition period.
What plans does the Secretary of State have to maintain the legal route to family reunion for refugees and asylum seekers in the EU with family in the UK after the transition period?
The UK has a long and proud tradition of offering protection to vulnerable people who are fleeing war and persecution, and this Government take the welfare of vulnerable children extremely seriously. We support the principle of family unity wholeheartedly. The hon. Lady will be more than aware of the work that we do to provide safe and legal routes for family reunion, and for vulnerable persons and children. She has heard me say that we are fully committed to supporting the most vulnerable children and the principle of family reunion.
