Up to 70 child migrants from the Jungle camp in Calais are expected to arrive at a temporary Home Office "respite facility" in Devon, the BBC has learnt.
The group was due to be brought to a hostel in the countryside near Great Torrington on Sunday or Monday. The Home Office said they were unaccompanied, vulnerable children.
The purpose of the temporary facility is to provide a safe and welcoming place before the children are reunited with family members or moved to other parts of the country, Devon Country Council said.
Meanwhile, more than 1,200 police and officials in France have begun an operation to clear the migrant camp in Calais (pictured).
