Lucas and Young on UK help for Syrian refugees

Green MP Caroline Lucas called for a guarantee of funding for councils to support Syrian refugees who are rehomed in the UK.

And commentator Toby Young, who has started a petition asking the government to allow British families to foster Syrian refugee children, said a bid for Britain to help 20,000 people was a "drop in the ocean" when there were 10 million displaced people.

They spoke to Jo Coburn ahead of the government announcing details of how the refugees would be dispersed around the UK.
