Written question asked by Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat) on Monday, 23 January 2017, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Monday, 6 February 2017. It was answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford (Conservative) on Friday, 27 January 2017 on behalf of the Home Office.
Refugees: Children
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 17 January (HL4525), whether the 200 children referred to were not eligible to be transferred to the UK under the Dublin Regulation.
- Answer
-
In 2016, we transferred over 900 unaccompanied children to the UK from Europe, including more than 750 from France. Approximately 200 of these children met the criteria for section 67 of the Immigration Act.
Based on the assessments undertaken by Home Office teams working in France, these cases were not eligible for transfer to the UK under the Dublin Regulation.
Transfers under the Dublin Regulation will not form part of the overall number to be transferred under section 67 of the Immigration Act.
