answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>The UK is working very closely with France and other EU Member States to support unaccompanied asylum seeking children. However, the primary responsibility for unaccompanied children in France lies with the French authorities.</p><p> </p><p>In Autumn last year, the French Government requested the support of the UK Government for its clearance of the Calais camp. As part of our comprehensive support for the camp clearance we transferred more than 750 children to the UK directly from France. We continue to work with the French authorities on ensuring the timely and efficient operation of the Dublin Regulation, and on the implementation of section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, we have invested tens of millions of pounds in managing the situation in Northern France and in bolstering security at the UK’s border in Calais, including a contribution of up to £36 million to maintain security of the juxta-posed controls, support the situation in Calais and to ensure that the camp remains closed in the long term.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 18/10/2017 12:12:26 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s clear strategy has always been that we do not want to encourage people traffickers and incentivise perilous journeys to Europe, particularly by the most vulnerable children.</p><p> </p><p>Our policy is to support families to stay together and we have granted over 24,000 family reunion visas over the last five years. We are clear, from discussions with other Member States, that any schemes to transfer unaccompanied should not act as a draw. The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme is a bespoke scheme to resettle 3,000 vulnerable children together with their families directly from the Middle East and North Africa region.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 18/10/2017 12:11:04 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
