Asylum: Databases
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what progress they have made regarding the United Kingdom's access to the European Asylum Dactyloscopy Database; and how that access will enhance the United Kingdom's ability to manage immigration and asylum processes.
- Answer
-
We are committed to resetting the relationship with our European partners, including the EU, which will support us in tackling organised immigration crime and small boat crossings.
We have already enhanced our work with EU agencies, having delivered an immediate 50% uplift in NCA officers to be based in Europol. Wherever the UK and European partners can better jointly tackle shared challenges, including through enhanced information sharing, the Government will consider options to facilitate that cooperation further.
