	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2016 answer text <p>We are concerned about the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers in Thailand. We continue to work with the UNHCR in Thailand on a wide range of refugee issues. However, Thailand is not a signatory to the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees. Once any form of legal immigration status expires, refugees and asylum claimants may be deemed to be in Thailand illegally even if they have registered with the UNHCR. Nonetheless, we have pressed the Thai authorities to apply international humanitarian norms and standards when handling these vulnerable groups. We are also working with the Thai authorities to improve conditions of detention.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/03/2016 16:54:36 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
