To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons Eritrean and Afghan children over the age of 15 do not qualify under the eligibility criteria set out in the Guidance: Implementation of section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 in France published by her Department.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons Eritrean and Afghan children over the age of 15 do not qualify under the eligibility criteria set out in the Guidance: Implementation of section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 in France published by her Department.
We will in due course specify the number of unaccompanied refugee children to be transferred to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016. Eritrean and Afghan children over the age of 15 do not qualify under the published criteria for the implementation of section 67 in France, because these reflect our focus on the very youngest children, those assessed as being at high risk of sexual exploitation and those likely to be granted refugee status in the UK. The latter criterion is based on nationalities with a first instance asylum grant rate of 75 per cent or higher in the year to June 2016.

Unaccompanied asylum seeking children arriving in the UK are transferred to the care of a local authority. The local authority will arrange for the child’s health to be assessed and for a health plan to be drawn up. This will include dental care. Central records are not kept of the number of dental check-ups given to such children.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, concerning asylum claims relating to gender and sexual identity, when they expect the data on the asylum casework database to have been quality assured to a sufficient standard of accuracy to enable their publication.
The Home Office remains committed to publishing information on the number of people claiming asylum on the basis of sexual orientation. Any data publications must be in line with reporting standards. Work is ongoing to assure the quality of the data for publication.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether unaccompanied asylum-seeking children brought to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 will be given refugee status or discretionary leave to remain.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether unaccompanied asylum-seeking children brought to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 will be given refugee status or discretionary leave to remain.
All children transferred here under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 will be expected to make an asylum claim in the UK, which will be considered according to normal processes. We aim to decide 98 per cent of straightforward asylum claims within six months. Where a child does not qualify for asylum and it is clear that safe and adequate reception arrangements are not available in their home country, they will be granted leave to remain under the Immigration Rules for 30 months or until they reach the age of 17 and a half, whichever is shorter.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 14 December (HL Deb, cols. 1235-6), why authority from the Immigration Minister, which was stated at the Home Office Strategic Engagement Group in September as being required to publish statistics from the casework database to...

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. You are probably aware that one of my hobby horses is the Government’s sneaking out of written statements rather than coming to the House.

The current Home Office system does not centrally record the basis of an asylum claim. The data requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost by examination of individual case records. We aim to decide all straightforward asylum claims within 6 months, however there will be some claims which are more complex, including those who have suffered abhorrent acts such as torture. We aim to decide these cases within 12 months.

There are currently seven permanent Initial Accommodation centres located across the United Kingdom in the cities of Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, London, Wakefield and Glasgow. However, we cannot comment on the individual locations of the centres for the safety of the asylum seekers housed there.
The COMPASS Providers are currently exploring, with support from UK Visas and Immigration, the feasibility of additional initial accommodation centres to temporarily accommodate asylum seekers. However, no new sites have been confirmed and any that are proposed will be subject to consultation with the relevant local authority.

My Lords, first, before I answer those questions, I apologise, because I suggested that the Government had committed £100 million to UNICEF. That would be extremely generous of us, but I am afraid it is only £10 million. It is still obviously an important contribution, but I wanted to put...
