In January 2018 both countries signed the Sandhurst Treaty, which included a funding package of £45.5 million to fund joint co-operation on all elements of tackling the impact of illegal migration in northern France.</p><p>Within this package, £3.6 million was specifically allocated to funding the development of the Dublin process to support transfers of eligible children to the UK, including training for those working with unaccompanied children, family tracing and targeted information campaigns. This full package of £3.6 million was paid to the French Government at the end of 2018. We continue to work with France to transfer eligible children under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 and the Dublin regulation and transfers are ongoing.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/02/2019 15:48:15 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>HMC Protector and HMC Seeker have been recalled to the English Channel.</p><p>All essential maintenance has been completed on the cutters and both are fully crewed. These vessels are designed and built to work around coastal areas rather than to undertake long distance open ocean deployments during adverse weather conditions.</p><p>For the crews to transit the Bay of Biscay during winter, especially during the current period of deep Atlantic pressures sweeping across and causing high swells (at times up to 14 metres), is a dangerous pursuit and one which must not be taken carelessly. The vessels therefore require a favourable weather window to return to the UK safely and securely.</p><p>The two cutters are expected to arrive in the coming weeks.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/02/2019 16:39:30 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
