The UK Government does not hold information on the number of unaccompanied asylum seeking child refugees in EU Member States by (a) gender and (b) age group.

This is collected by each Member State and compiled by Eurostat. It is available at: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/data/database

The UK Government is currently consulting with France, Italy and Greece to establish how best we can implement the recent Lord Dubsamendment to the Immigration Bill. This will include an assessment of numbers and needs of unaccompanied children in these Member States.
