question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many illegal entrants were detected (1) on arrival at a UK ferry port, and (2) subsequent to having entered in a vehicle that had arrived at a UK ferry port, in each of the last three years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Lord Green of Deddington
uin	HL7419
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2016 answer text <p>Our records currently indicate that the number of clandestine entrants detected at UK ferry ports was:</p><p>2013 756</p><p>2014 1,480</p><p>2015 1,305</p><p>As part of recent changes to the way data is recorded, management information from April 2011 has been refreshed and may differ from the data released in earlier responses.</p><p>Previous figures provided for PQ 21106 showed that, at that time, our records indicated that 678 detections had been made at seaports in 2013. Under the new improved recording and reporting system, this figure has been updated to 756.</p><p>Clandestine entrants detected in-country with a declared port of departure that is a ferry port:</p><p>2013 676</p><p>2014 1,343</p><p>2015 1,630</p><p>This is provisional management information that is subject to change. It has not been assured to the standard of Official Statistics. Because the source of this data is a live operational system, operational reports taking data from the system at different times will continue to reflect slightly different numbers.</p><p>As part of recent changes to the way data is recorded, management information from April 2011 has been refreshed and may differ from the data released in earlier responses.</p><p>Immigration controls operate at Calais, and as such detections at Dover are normally counted as in country. For the purposes of this question, detections at Dover are counted as &quot;at a UK ferry port&quot;.</p><p>For part (2), data on the ferry port of departure has been used as a proxy for port of arrival, as the latter is not recorded.</p><p>Regarding part (2), it must be noted that data for port of departure is incomplete: over the three year period there are more than 15,000 clandestines detected in country with no port of departure recorded. The data for part (2) excludes clandestine entrants whose declared port of departure is Coquelles, as this is a rail port.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/04/2016 16:19:30 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they will announce the outcome of their review of their policy of returning to Afghanistan Afghan military interpreters who have sought asylum in the UK.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hamwee
uin	HL7420
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2016 answer text <p>The policy on considering asylum claims is not under review. We carefully consider all asylum claims made in the UK, including those made by former interpreters with our armed forces in Afghanistan, in accordance with our international obligations under the Refugee Convention. Those who demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution are normally granted protection and are not expected to return to their country.</p><p>Those who are found not to be in need of international protection are refused but have a right of appeal to the independent courts. Once all appeal rights are exhausted, they are required to leave the UK, failing which their removal will be enforced.</p><p>Separate schemes have existed since 2013 to assist interpreters previously employed by the UK Armed Forces. These apply only to those who have remained in Afghanistan and, in recognition of their unique and exceptional service or the danger interpreters may face because of their work, can lead to relocation to the UK if certain criteria are met.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/04/2016 12:36:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they agree with the International Rescue Committee's (IRC) call for Europe to resettle 108,000 refugees each year for the next five years; and whether they accept the arguments in the IRC's situation briefing dated 24 March.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL7425
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2016 answer text <p>The Government considers the resettlement of targeted groups of refugees, particularly the most vulnerable, to be a vital part of the international response to the current migration crisis. However, we do not support the setting of binding quotas or targets by any organisation, either at European or international level. In our view national resettlement schemes, run and co-ordinated with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and other partners, is the best way for each country to make its own contribution.</p><p>We have committed to resettling 20,000 vulnerable Syrians over the lifetime of this Parliament and we saw the first 1,000 arrive before Christmas 2015. This is in addition to the other resettlement schemes that we operate, including Gateway, under which 750 refugees from all over the world are resettled each year.</p><p>Resettlement is only one strand of the Government’s efforts. It complements our significant humanitarian aid programme, including £2.3 billion to the Syria region, and diplomatic efforts to end the conflict in Syria. The Government is clear that this approach is the best way to ensure that the UK’s help has the greatest impact for the majority of refugees who remain in the region and their host countries surrounding Syria.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/04/2016 12:13:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
