answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>The Dublin III Regulation is a long-standing EU agreement to determine responsibility for examining an asylum application. It does not cover those who have been determined as refugees. We are committed to ensuring transfers take place quickly. As per the Regulation, Member States are obliged to transfer individuals as soon as possible, and at least within 6 months of accepting the transfer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/01/2018 16:34:10 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
