answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2015 answer text <p>Operation Triton began on 1 November 2014 following unanimous calls from all 28 EU Member States that Italy’s Operation Mare Nostrum should be phased out. There have been no estimates made by the Government or by Frontex (the EU External Border Agency) with regard to the number of people who have drowned in the Mediterranean since the end of Operation Mare Nostrum and the start of Operation Triton as such estimates would be extremely difficult to make with any degree of certainty. <br><br>All deaths of this nature are, of course, utterly tragic and the Government is determined to do all it can with international partners to reduce the flow of illegal migrants taking such risks and to combat the organised criminals who are making huge profits by exploiting vulnerable people.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 10/03/2015 15:03:39 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 48237 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	226000
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2015 answer text <p>The last Labour Government passed the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 to <br>alleviate the pressure on local authorities in London and the South East of <br>England where most asylum seekers made their asylum claims. <br><br>The effect of the 1999 Act was to pass the support responsibility to the Home <br>Office. Regional dispersal policy established by the then Home Secretary in <br>2000 provides that, as a general rule, asylum seekers should be accommodated in <br>areas where there is a greater supply of suitable and cheaper accommodation.<br><br>Asylum seekers who need accommodation are housed across the UK <br>according to an agreed ratio, based on various regional factors. The Home <br>Office has voluntary agreements with 95 local authorities throughout the United <br>Kingdom in accepting the dispersal of asylum seekers. As part of the regional <br>dispersal policy established in 2000 an advisory cluster limit was set by the <br>Home Office at 1 asylum seeker for every 200 of the settled population.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 06/03/2015 14:07:48 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 48248 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
