Greece: Asylum

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs pursuant to the answer of 4 July 2011, Official Report, columns 1030-31W, on Greece: asylum, how many UK experts are seconded to the European Asylum Support Office; and what plans he has for the future number of such secondments.
Answer

I have been asked to reply.No UK experts are currently seconded to the European Asylum Support Office (EASO). However, the UK Border Agency seconded one official between 23 February and 24 March 2011 to work with EASO in Greece and plans to second a further two, also to work in Greece, in the near future.The UK Border Agency would be happy to agree further secondments beyond these at EASO's request, if its resources permitted.
