answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The deportation of a foreign criminal is subject to the UK’s obligations under the ECHR and the Refugee Convention. Where an Article 8 claim is made, consideration is given to the public interest in deportation to determine if it is outweighed by a foreign criminal’s private or family life. The more serious the offence committed by a foreign criminal the greater the public interest in deportation.</p><p>In the case of a foreign criminal sentenced to a period of imprisonment of less than four years, the public interest requires deportation unless the exceptions to deportation, set out in paragraphs 399 and 399A of the Immigration Rules, are met.</p><p>In the case of a foreign criminal sentenced to a period of imprisonment of at least four years, the public interest requires deportation except where there are very compelling circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>The Article 8 public interest considerations were approved by Parliament during the passage of the Immigration Act 2014.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/11/2018 17:47:26 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The UK’s resettlement programmes follow the humanitarian principles of impartiality and neutrality, which means that we resettle solely based on needs identified by UNHCR through their established processes, rather than on the basis of ethno-religious origin.</p><p>We believe that one way to protect the privacy of those being resettled and support their recovery and integration is to limit the amount of information about them that we make publicly available.</p><p>We therefore do not routinely publish a religious and ethnic breakdown of those who have been resettled, however internal management information indicates the proportions of refugees who are recommended for resettlement and those who are subsequently accepted for resettlement are broadly consistent across religious denominations.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/11/2018 17:48:19 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

uin	190962
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Calais leave is a bespoke form of leave, introduced specifically for those children transferred to the UK between 17 October 2016 and 13 July 2017 as part of the Calais camp clearance to reunite with family and who did not qualify for leave to remain in the UK under existing Immigration Rules. It was created in recognition of the specific circumstances that surrounded the clearance of the camp and the transfer of children to the UK.</p><p>In agreement with the French Government, the UK took unprecedented action to remove children from a dangerous situation to reunite them with their family in the UK. A total of 549 children were brought to the UK to join family members as part of this process. Granting leave to those transferred from Calais is in keeping with our ongoing commitment to those individuals.</p><p>The Dublin Regulation determines the Member State responsible for assessing an asylum claim and does not confer any right to remain in the UK. An unaccompanied child who is transferred to the UK to reunite with family here under the Dublin Regulation will have their asylum claim considered in line with our published policy and guidance. It would not be possible for the UK to unilaterally alter the purpose of transfers under the Dublin Regulation</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/11/2018 17:54:14 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
