answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK and France have for many years maintained close cooperation at our shared border and have worked to uphold high security standards. The UK has committed various funding packages to uphold these standards and support France in responding to the migration crisis. In 2015, both countries signed a Joint Declaration which committed £10 million towards security reviews of the juxtaposed controls and to moving migrants into reception centres across France. This was followed by payments in 2016 (£17 million) and 2017 (£36 million) to further strengthen the border and maintain the operation of the juxtaposed controls.</p><p>Most recently, in January 2018 both countries signed the Sandhurst Treaty, which demonstrates our ongoing commitment to prevent irregular migration and to the continued operation of the juxtaposed controls. As part of this package, a commitment of €50 million was made to joint work with France, of which a significant portion has been dedicated to improving border security infrastructure.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 10/12/2018 17:40:28 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>In the case of Help Refugees v SSHD, handed down on the 3 October 2018, the Court of Appeal made a finding that the provision of inadequate reasons to children refused transfer to the UK under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 breached the common law duty of fairness and was therefore unlawful. The cohort of children impacted by this judgment is limited to those who were considered for transfer to the UK during the clear-ance operation regarding the Calais camp in 2016 the judgment is not reflective of the operation of the section 67 scheme generally.</p><p><br>The relief granted by the Court of Appeal in its judgment is declaratory, the court did not identify or mandate a particular course of action to be taken in response to its findings. The response to the judgment is currently a matter of active consideration.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 12/12/2018 16:24:25 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
