Surrey County Council said its "overriding priority" is the welfare of the children. BBC News understands the council was working through the night to get information to the court in Pakistan.
Tim Oliver, leader of Surrey County Council, said they were working with authorities "to best ensure the immediate and longer term safety and wellbeing of the children".
I wonder what information the Surrey County Council is providing the courts is in relation to their 'immediate safety'? Do they believe that one or more of the children are still in danger? It must be in preparation to bring the children back home to UK. IMOO
I think, as potential witnesses, these poor children will have to be questioned about the events on 8th - 10th Aug. Apart from the one and a half yr old bairn, all the others are old enough to remember the events of the last month. (IMOO).
Their journey through this nightmare is sadly not over.
