answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>Under the EU Dublin III Regulation, it is the responsibility of the Member State where the unaccompanied asylum-seeking child is currently present to identify the Member State responsible for processing their asylum claim. Where there is evidence the responsible Member State is the UK based on qualifying family connections, we work closely with Member States to transfer eligible children to the UK where it is in their best interest to do so. We continue to meet our commitments under the Dublin III Regulation and work closely with EU Member States and partners to ensure it operates efficiently in respect of both adults and children.</p><p>Outside of the Dublin III Regulation, our Family Reunion Immigration Rules allow children to join their refugee parents, and there are also specific provisions that allow extended family members lawfully resident in the UK to sponsor unaccompanied children where there are serious and compelling circumstances. We have reunited over 24,000 partners and children with their families under our family reunion policy in the last five years.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 15/01/2018 17:37:05 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office has, for 39 months, met its Service Standard to make decisions on 98% of straight forward asylum claims within six months.</p><p>Notwithstanding this, we are aware that the number of older cases awaiting decision is increasing. As noted by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration in his recent report on Asylum Intake and Casework, this is partly caused by issues relating to staff retention. We recruit high quality and highly skilled people to be asylum caseworkers and they are able to progress their careers quite quickly. However, plans are in place to address this and to reduce the number of older cases awaiting a decision.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 15/01/2018 17:35:29 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
