A 12-year-old Syrian refugee schoolboy has been told he might not be able to go on a class trip to Majorca because of a delay in Home Office procedure.

Pupils at Canal View Primary School in Edinburgh won Jet2 Holidays' Ultimate School Trip competition earlier this month.

They had produced a stop-motion animation video in order to secure the trip to Sol Katmandu resort.

However Mohammed, who has resettled in Edinburgh from Syria, may be unable to travel as applying for his documents could take up to three months.

The flight to the Spanish island leaves on April 20.

The holiday will include education workshops with presenters Dick & Dom and Diversity's Jordan Banjo.

Joanna Cherry, the SNP MP for Edinburgh South West, raised the issue at Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister said the Home Secretary would "look into the case."

Ms Cherry said: "It is unacceptable that this young Syrian schoolboy will find himself excluded from joining his classmates on a dream holiday because of Home Office procedures.

"The Prime Minister must immediately step in and right this grievous wrong.

"I was contacted by Canal View's Head Teacher Ann Moore yesterday, asking if there was anything which I could do to help.

"The school and the class are obviously devastated that Mohammed has been told he can't join them on this holiday of a lifetime.

"It is terrible to think of the hardship this wee boy has overcome to get to Edinburgh and start a new life in safety."

She continued: "Today I have asked the Prime Minister and Home Secretary to intervene and make sure Mohammed can join his classmates.

"I'm delighted that the Prime Minister has indicated that the Home Secretary will look into this case, and I shall make sure she does so urgently."
