Over 200 of these children met the criteria for section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016.</p><p>On 10 March 2017 the Government published the basis on which future transfers under section 67 will take place, up to the specified number of 480. We are fully committed to delivering section 67 and are working very closely with France, Greece and Italy, as well as partners such as the UNHCR, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and NGOs, to agree processes for identifying and transferring further children. It is important to remember that these processes must be implemented in line with each individual Member State’s national laws. All transfers of children to the UK must be carried out safely and with the best interests of children at the centre of all decisions regarding transfer.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 05/09/2017 08:10:32 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
