The former justice secretary Robert Buckland said he was uncomfortable with the plan to reduce small boat crossings that would in effect reverse a ban on child detention implemented under David Cameron.
Other ministers are expected to highlight concerns in the House of Commons today about the possibility of detaining children in migrant centres.
Several senior Tories, including the former home secretary and immigration hardliner Priti Patel, are expected to raise their concerns about the treatment of children who arrive in the UK with their parents.
The bill will have its second reading in the Commons today, where rebel MPs suggested they would not vote down its passage but seek reassurances as it goes through the parliamentary stages.
"This is a classic example of something the Lords will amend if we don't," one former minister said. "It's hard to see how [the government] lets it get to that stage. It would be foolish to engage in a prolonged battle on this."
