Concerns were voiced over the age of this newly arrived “child migrant” but the Home Office said some may look older because they had fled war zones

A mature-looking male pictured arriving in Britain from the Jungle camp in Calais is a teenage migrant and not an adult translator, the Home Office has confirmed.

It had been suggested that he was an interpreter travelling with unaccompanied child asylum seekers.

Officials confirmed this was not the case but refused to comment on his status.

Whitehall sources told The Times that the man was one of a group of child migrants said to be aged 14 to 18 who were brought over from Calais this week.

The picture of him arriving at the Home Office’s Lunar House in Croydon…



My thought processes are fine, what I want it know is why that age group were prioritised over younger children



Sorry Cherie - here comes some more of those 'overworked clap emoticons'.
