Written question asked by Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat) on Tuesday, 22 March 2016, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 7 April 2016. It was answered by Lord Keen of Elie (Conservative) on Tuesday, 12 April 2016 on behalf of the Home Office.


Asylum: France

Question

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many applications for asylum from refugees in the Calais and Dunkirk camp they have accepted under the Dublin III Regulations.

Answer

Whilst all asylum claims, including those accepted under Dublin III, are registered on the main immigration database the specifics of each case including the route of travel and possible stay in the camps in Calais and Dunkirk can only be ascertained by a manual check of the notes on the immigration database and a physical check of the paper file.

It will therefore not be possible to answer this question for reasons of disproportionate cost.
