Speaker's BiographyBorn in Prague, then in Czechoslovakia, Lord Dubs was one of 669 Czech-resident, mainly Jewish, children saved by English stockbroker Nicholas Winton and others from the Nazis on the Kindertransport. In 2016, Lord Dubs sponsored an amendment to UK legislation to offer unaccompanied refugee children safe passage to Britain amidst the European migrant crisis. In February 2017, the Home Office abandoned this scheme after accepting 350 out of the planned 3,000 child refugees.
