answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The UK strongly supports the principle of family unity and there are already legal routes for families to be reunited safely that are not dependent on our EU membership. The UK’s family reunion policy is generous, and we have and continue to reunite refugees with their immediate family, including granting over 23,000 family reunion visas over the last five years.</p><p> </p><p>The EU Dublin Regulation determines the Member State with responsibility for assessing an asylum claim. Under the Regulation unaccompanied children present in another EU Member State can be transferred to the UK to have their asylum claim assessed where they have a qualifying family member or relative legally present and transfer is in their best interests. We expect cooperation on asylum and migration with our European partners to continue after the UK leaves the EU, and will discuss the exact nature of this cooperation in negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 11/09/2017 16:16:21 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>The new adults at risk policy recognises the dynamic nature of vulnerability and introduces a new focus on decision making with regard to immigration detention.

It is part of the Government’s response to Stephen Shaw’s report on the welfare of vulnerable people in immigration detention. The Government intends to ask Mr Shaw to carry out a short review in 2017 to assess progress against the key recommendations of his report.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/12/2016 16:06:54 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
