Home Office rules out forcing dental checks on child refugees to prove age

‘The Home Office has ruled out forcing young refugees arriving in Britain from the Calais ‘Jungle’ camp to have their teeth checked to determine their age, branding the idea “inaccurate, inappropriate and unethical”.
ts statement comes after Tory MP David Davies said the child refugees arriving in the UK this week “don’t look like children”. He said they should undertake mandatory dental checks to verify their ages.
“We do not use dental x-rays to confirm the ages of those seeking asylum in the UK,” a Home Office spokesperson told the Guardian.’
