	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>Much of the UK’s relationship with France on illegal migration is governed by the Sandhurst Treaty, signed in January 2018. The Treaty provides for joint cooperation to improve security infrastructure at the shared border in northern France, to reduce illegal migration flows and to provide support to the most vulnerable. This includes a programme of work to support access into asylum accommodation in France and a Dublin Regulation Development Fund. The UK has committed a package of €50 million to implement this work, which is overseen by the official UK-France Migration Committee. Our two countries continue to undertake regular and routine ministerial and senior official discussions regarding migration across our shared border and our cooperation under the Sandhurst Treaty. However, the actions of French law enforcement on their sovereign territory remain a domestic matter for the French Government and as such the British Government is not consulted on their activities.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 21/12/2018 17:29:47 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Sandhurst Treaty, signed between the UK and France in January 2018, sets out a number of measures to strengthen our co-operation on our shared border. The Treaty presents a ‘whole of route’ approach to reducing the number of migrants making the dangerous and illegal journey to northern France and to manage the pressure on our shared border from those who do travel, underpinned by a £50 million funding package.</p><p>Use of this funding is specifically towards improving access to French domestic asylum centres and ensuring that vulnerable migrants are provided with the support and care that they require. These centres provide essential medical, legal and other necessary support in secure accommodation.</p><p>Our cooperation with France under the Treaty is overseen by the UK-FR Migration Committee, which presently meets on a quarterly basis. The Committee is attended by relevant operational and policy stakeholders from the British and French Governments. It ensures that our Governments are collaborating effectively and that the package of funding is spent in a way which most effectively (i) tackles illegal migration and (ii) provides support to the most vulnerable.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 06/12/2018 17:28:20 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>In working to combat illegal migration, our relationship with the French is governed by the Sandhurst Treaty, which was signed at the UK-France Summit in January 2018 by Theresa May and Emmuanuel Macron. This agreement served to complement and ensure both parties’ commitment to juxtaposed controls as set out in the Le Touqet Treaty, signed on 4<sup>th</sup> February 2003, and the Treaty of Canterbury, signed on 12<sup>th</sup> February 1986, which provided for the construction of the Channel Tunnel.</p><p>We are committed to maintaining a close ongoing relationship with France to manage our shared border; this will not be impacted by our departure from the European Union on 29 March 2019 and we will continue to cooperate with France as set out in the Sandhurst Treaty.</p><p>The Treaty includes provisions designed to ensure that the Dublin III Regulation is swiftly operated, in particular for unaccompanied asylum seeking children, and we will continue to work together to complete the transfer of unaccompanied minors agreed in accordance with national relocation schemes, such as section 67 of the United Kingdom Immigration Act 2016.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 06/12/2018 17:30:43 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
