uin	HL1611
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2015 answer text <p>The Dublin Regulation is an important tool for maintaining the distinction between international protection and economic or other migration, reflecting the accepted principle of international law that those seeking international protection should seek asylum in the first safe country they reach.</p><p>If we have evidence that an asylum seeker is the responsibility of another European country we can, and will, seek to return them there under the Dublin Regulation. Similarly, if we have evidence that the person claiming asylum in the UK has already been granted international protection by another European country we will also seek to remove them to the country that granted protection. Over 12,000 migrants have been returned from the UK to another EU country since 2003.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 23/07/2015 16:15:08 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

Equally, the Government is committed to introducing new regulation only where necessary, when it can be proven to be more effective than current or non-regulatory approaches and provided new regulation can be implemented in a way that is proportionate, consistent, transparent and targeted. We must ensure that any new regulations on littering from vehicles are shaped to the needs of Local Authorities, and will deliver a real improvement on the current law.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><br></p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 29/07/2015 11:45:45 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

In the first instance, the non-police prosecuting agency is provided with information to assist with conduct of their investigation and latterly, should they decide to bring a prosecution, provided with information required by the prosecution, the defence and the court to support relevant criminal justice processes. ACRO’s use of the PNC is audited by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 13/08/2015 16:03:41 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
