Hundreds of Calais child refugees have UK asylum claims rejected (UK Progressive) (19 December 2016)

Toufique Hossain, the director of public law at the UK-based Duncan Lewis solicitors, who is representing a large number of asylum seeker #children dispersed across France, said he and his team had received reports on Friday from more than 12 children they are representing, all of whom are at different centres.

Hundreds of child asylum seekers in France who had been expecting to come to the UK have been told that the Home Office has rejected their claims. The children and teenagers dispersed from Calais in October have been advised to lodge their applications in France instead.
