Text
There is a UK-wide evacuation scheme. As I indicated, we have been requested to take one child from the most recent phase of the scheme, which includes 50 children. The UK Government have led the way on medical evacuations. As I said, we want to make sure that, whatever is proposed, the right support network is there so that, for example, we do not place a family in an area of Northern Ireland without school places, suitable housing or the right support. All those issues will be examined in detail.
