answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2016 answer text <p>The Dublin III Regulation sets out the criteria for determining responsibility for asylum cases and using discretionary powers. The procedures for dealing with an asylum seeker in Calais, including an unaccompanied child, are for the French authorities to determine, in line with their obligations under the Regulation. We are committed to making the Dublin Regulation work effectively and are in ongoing discussions with France, Italy and Greece to ensure that the right processes and resources are in place to enable this. We are also working with other EU Member States, the UNHCR and other non-governmental organisations and local authorities in the UK to establish the best way to implement the provisions of the Immigration Act 2016 for the transfer of unaccompanied refugee children from elsewhere in the EU to the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL124 question first answered 27/05/2016 11:08:17 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
