LORD DUBS accused the government of “exploiting the misery” of child refugees for “political purposes” today after the Tories scrapped legal protections for unaccompanied minors. 

PM Boris Johnson’s Withdrawal Agreement Deal, which includes a clause revoking the “Dubs amendment,” passed its second reading by 358 votes to 234 in the Commons. 

The Bill paves the way for Britain to leave the EU by January 31, but omits a previous government commitment to negotiate a deal with the EU so child refugees can be reunited with family members in Britain.
