HEREFORDSHIRE MP's have voted against a plan for Britain to accept 3,000 unaccompanied Syrian child refugees who have travelled to Europe.
Conservatives Jesse Norman and Bill Wiggin didn't support the amendment to the government's Immigration Bill which had been proposed by Labour's Lord Dubs on Monday night.
MP's voted by 294 votes to 276 to reject the plan.
Ministers have said they will take 3,000 extra vulnerable children, but that they should be drawn from camps near the conflict zone.
