<p>The Home Office works closely with local authorities and third sector partners
in order to identify suitable placements for unaccompanied children for transfer to
the UK from Europe under our existing obligations.</p><p>The Government remains fully
committed to relocating the specified number of 480 unaccompanied children to the
UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 (the Dubs Amendment) as soon as possible.
We will publish a full data set on the transfers once we have fulfilled this commitment.</p><p>Over
220 children were transferred to the UK under section 67 when the Calais camp was
cleared in late 2016. Since then we have been making further progress with Greece
and the other participating states, to transfer more eligible children to move closer
to achieving this commitment</p>
