<p>The UK is committed to the successful implementation of the EU/ Turkey migration
deal. The numbers of migrants arriving at Greek islands has significantly reduced
since this deal came into effect and it is making genuine difference to managing the
flows of migration; preventing people from dying in attempting the crossing or putting
themselves in the hands of smugglers. Turkey is already hosting over 2.7 million Syrian
refugees all of whom are provided with access to healthcare, education and the labour
market.</p><p>We are also pleased to note that the recent agreements Turkey has reached
with the European Commission and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in providing
them with access to the Düziçi Camp and Kirklareli Removal Centre. The UK continues
to work with Turkey to deliver further improvements to their immigration and asylum
services.</p><p>In addition, the UK is contributing £250 million towards the 3 billion
Euros Turkey Refugee Facility agreed by all EU Member States to help Turkey address
the consequences of the Syria conflict. Our support will fund schools, hospitals and
housing to meet the needs of refugees.</p>
