All the amendments in our names, including Amendment 165, follow Private Members’ Bills to allow a child to sponsor family members and to extend the categories of family members who can be sponsored by a child in this country. I say “extend”; there is no such right at the moment. I find it unimaginable that a child who has reached the UK cannot be joined by his parents, or that a young person cannot bring a sibling to join him. How is any of this in the best interests of a child?
