answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>No unaccompanied child under the age of 18 can be forcibly removed from the UK <br>unless adequate care and reception arrangements are in place in their country <br>of origin. The difficulty of setting up suitable reception arrangements has <br>meant that, with the exception of transfers to other European Union countries <br>under the *Dublin Regulations, the Home Office does not routinely enforce the <br>return of unaccompanied children to any country. The majority of unaccompanied <br>children whose asylum claims are rejected are granted temporary leave which is <br>reviewed when they reach 17½ years of age. We believe that the vast majority of <br>enforced returns of unaccompanied children undertaken between 2006 and 2010 <br>were transfers under the Dublin Regulations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Table 1:</strong><strong> Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children removals 2009 to 2013</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Date of Removal</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>12</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Grand Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>53</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>‘Migrant children' have been interpreted as unaccompanied asylum seeking <br>children (UASC) in answering this question.<br><br>* The Dublin Regulation EC No. 343/2003 is a binding measure of European <br>Community law to determine which State should be responsible for examining an <br>application for asylum made within the EU territory.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 3800 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
