There are a range of options for the future immigration system and it is important that we understand the impacts on the different sectors of the economy and the labour market. We will ensure that decisions on the long-term system are based on evidence.<\/p>
On 27 July, the Government commissioned the independent Migration Advisory Committee to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy. The MAC will advise on the economic and social impacts of the UK\u2019s exit from the EU and also on how the UK\u2019s immigration system should be aligned with a modern industrial strategy. It will report in September 2018 and its findings will help shape the government\u2019s decisions on the future immigration system.<\/p>
The Government also regularly engages with sectoral bodies to ensure our immigration routes work effectively to enable businesses to access the talent they need. Their contributions do, and will continue to, inform our decisions on any changes to the system.<\/p>"}

We have a strong track record of cooperating with France to manage the situation in Calais and to protect our shared border. We supported the humanitarian operation to clear the Calais migrant camp in October 2016, which involved the transfer of more than 750 children to the UK and funding to help provide migrants in Calais \u2013 including minors \u2013 with suitable facilities elsewhere in France.<\/p> In addition to this, our security and law enforcement teams have worked closely together to tackle organised criminal gangs operating in the region wishing to exploit vulnerable children.

We remain committed to transferring unaccompanied children from Europe under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 up to the specified number of 480. We are working closely with Member States, as well as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and NGO partners to identify and transfer children to the UK in line with each individual Member State\u2019s national laws. If it is determined that transfer to the UK is in the child\u2019s best interests, a referral will be made under the National Transfer Scheme for a placement with a local authority in the UK. Transfers are ongoing.<\/p> However, the primary responsibility for unaccompanied children in France lies with the French government. As I set out in the Backbench Business debate of 2 November, the French authorities have in recent weeks established additional welcome centres to those already in place across the country. Four new centres have recently opened, away from the juxtaposed ports, where those wishing to claim asylum will be supported through the asylum process. There is regular transportation provided to these centres. It is vital that children claim asylum in France; that is the fastest route to safety.<\/p> According to Eurostat data, 63,300 unaccompanied children claimed asylum in the EU in 2016:<\/p> http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/8016696/3-11052017-AP-EN.pdf/30ca2206-0db9-4076-a681-e069a4bc5290<\/a><\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
