CAMPAIGNERS have vowed to continue the fight to save protections for child refugees after they were scrapped from key legislation by “heartless” Tory MPs. 

The Lords amendment, which would have guaranteed legal routes for unaccompanied minors to come to Britain and reunite with family members after Brexit, was rejected on Monday evening by 327 votes to 264.

Labour MP Zarah Sultana accused the Tories of being “utterly heartless” for scrapping the protections.
