UK minister admits asylum-seeking children who were placed in hostels have gone missing

Guardian News published this video item, entitled “UK minister admits asylum-seeking children who were placed in hostels have gone missing” – below is their description.

Lord Simon Murray admits in the House of Lords that asylum-seeking children have gone missing after they were placed in hostels run by the Home Office. ‘Many of them that go missing are subsequently traced,’ Lord Murray said. Answering a question from the Liberal Democrat peer Paul Scriven, the Home Office minister said that ‘it would be wrong to make generalisations regarding the reason’ the minors go missing, following the suggestion that some of them were abducted by traffickers. The disclosure comes after the Observer reported that a whistleblower from a Home Office hostel in Brighton had claimed that some children had been abducted outside the hotel and bundled into cars.
