MPs have come under fire after they rejected calls to welcome child refugees to the UK. Earlier this week the House of Lords attempted to force the government to allow 3,000 children who are alone in Europe into the UK. Labour MP, Yvette Cooper, was applauded in the Commons for saying the failure to take in children was shameful. However the Prime Minister insisted it's best to help those in migrant camps in the Middle East. Journalist Martin Daubney and Amnesty's Patrick Corrigan debate
