The government needs to do more to support an estimated 120,000 undocumented migrant children, who are living under the radar within the UK, the Children's Society told MPs at a select committee hearing on 4 July. Enver Solomon, policy director with the charity, said "child protection issues are not being prioritised over immigration control", and staff working both with these undocumented children and with asylum-seeking children, saw many situations where "immigration issues trump child protection issues".
