answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2016 answer text <p>Our priority is to ensure the safety of children during the camp clearance and to ensure unaccompanied children eligible to come to the UK are transferred as quickly as possible. Working closely with the French authorities through an agreed and proper process, and in conjunction with non-governmental organisations (NGOs ) and charities, Home Office officials have interviewed 800 children in the camp who claim to have close family in the UK. Since 10 October, we have transferred almost 200 unaccompanied children to the UK and we expect to transfer many more over the coming days and weeks. We will continue to work with British NGOs as part of this process.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 04/11/2016 09:30:57 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
