Border staff turned back lone, "vulnerable" children who failed to claim asylum when they arrived at UK ports, under a secret "Gentleman's Agreement" with France, it has emerged.
England's children's commissioner Maggie Atkinson revealed that under the 1995 deal, lone children arriving without travel papers were deported.
The UK Border Agency ended the removals last year after she intervened.
She is now seeking the details of how many children were affected.
