Asylum: France
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what mechanisms are in place to ensure that take charge requests relating to the transfer of asylum claims from French to British authorities under the Dublin Regulations are processed quickly and efficiently.
- Answer
-
The UK-France Joint Declaration of 20 August 2015 committed the two governments to establishing a permanent official contact group focussed on ensuring that the provisions of the Dublin III Regulation are used efficiently and effectively, including the provisions on family unity.
As a result a Home Office official has recently been seconded to the Interior Ministry’s Dublin Unit in Paris in part to assist with the identification of potential requests for the UK to take charge of an asylum seeking child in France and to bring them into the Dublin Regulation procedure without delay.
