During a debate on the Immigration Bill, there were a number of passionate speeches about unimaginably difficult conditions faced by refugees in Europe. However some of them spoke as if the United Kingdom is the only country capable of doing something about the crisis.
We forget that the United Kingdom taxpayer has given more than the rest of the European Union together to help Syrian refugees.
I asked the SNP spokesman on immigration, Stuart C. McDonald MP, who's speech I intervened on, whether he thought that if these circumstances existed in the United Kingdom, our social services would have taken care of those children and whether he thought that other European countries could be doing a rather better job of looking after those children who happen to be in their borders.
