answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/08/2015 answer text <p>We believe the majority of those crossing the central Mediterranean route from Libya to Italy are more likely to be seeking a better way of life rather than fleeing persecution or conflict. Detailed analysis by Frontex, published in June, shows that West African migrants were the most prominent nationalities using this route for the period between January and March this year. 4,500 nationals of Gambia, Senegal, Mali or Nigeria were detected in the Central Mediterranean between January and March, while those from Syria, Eritrea and Somalia numbered approximately 3,000. EU asylum grant rates for 2014 show clearly that nationals of West African countries are far less likely to be granted asylum status. The size and composition of migrant flows can change markedly over time, given the large range of factors driving migration, and we keep these under regular review.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 03/08/2015 16:16:10 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
