answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government welcomes the safe disembarkation of the 64 rescued migrants on board the German Non-Governmental Organisation-operated search and rescue vessel Alan Kurdi in Malta. This followed an EU-brokered agreement for the migrants to be relocated to four EU member states. We are concerned about the continued impasse over search and rescue in the central Mediterranean that has affected this and other recent search and rescue operations, in the absence of predictable disembarkation arrangements. The UK continues to work with our EU partners and internationally to find a solution and is committed to pursuing a whole of route approach, including upstream interventions, to tackle the causes of irregular migration across the Mediterranean.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 29/04/2019 16:36:51 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
