How old are they REALLY? Concern as 'hulking' all-male refugee children arrive from Calais

How old are they REALLY? Concern as 'hulking' all-male refugee children arrive from Calais


QUESTIONS have been raised over the real ages of refugee children arriving in Britain from Calais after it emerged that immigration officials have no way of verifying how old they are.

Tory MPs have expressed concern that the UK's hospitality may be being abused after pictures of the first group of "hulking", all-male teenagers to cross the Channel were published yesterday.
Fourteen youngsters, who officials insist are between the ages of 14 and 17, arrived in the UK from the infamous Jungle camp as part of a fast-track scheme to get children out before it is demolished.
But Conservative politicians said that photographs of the refugees suggested many of the group were older than 17, with one blasting: "These don't look like children to me."
