answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text We remain concerned by events in Ethiopia that contribute to the number of Ethiopians seeking refuge in Western Europe. Although the number of claims has increased, the profile of Ethiopian asylum claims seen by the Home Office has not changed significantly. We regularly monitor events and support multilateral initiatives to tackle illegal migration such as the African Union-EU Khartoum process to tackle these issues. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 05/11/2014 15:53:41 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
