answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport conducts expert assessments on aviation security at overseas airports. We do not assess the impact on the tourism and airline industries of any restrictions on flights. However, I fully recognise that Egypt is an important partner for the UK, with British businesses both serving the resort, as well as delivering a sizeable contribution to Egypt’s economy more widely. UK aviation security experts have worked closely with their Egyptian counterparts, sharing their expertise in establishing effective security arrangements. However, it is long standing government policy not to comment in detail on security matters. We continue to work in a spirit of partnership, and are grateful for Egypt's close engagement and cooperation. We look forward to achieving the return of flights once we can be assured that the necessary security environment can be sustained.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes grouped question UIN 108724 108725 108727 question first answered 24/10/2017 14:03:53 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government is fully committed to transferring 480 unaccompanied children from Europe under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 and transfers are ongoing. To be eligible, children must have been present in Europe before 20 March 2016, and it be determined, following individual assessment, that it would be in their best interest to be transferred to the UK.</p><p>Member States have been asked to prioritise those likely to qualify for refugee status and the most vulnerable. The requirement to be present in Europe before 20 March 2016 has been in place since the passage of section 67 in May 2016, and supports the principle that the scheme should not act as a pull factor for further children to make dangerous journeys to Europe.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 23/10/2017 12:01:26 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
