answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>Al Qaeda, and groups affiliated to it, continue to pose a threat to our national security, including British interests abroad, and remain a priority for the cross-government counter terrorism effort. We are aware of media reporting that terrorist groups have an ambition to infiltrate migration and refugee routes. We work closely with our partners abroad to counter terrorism, including to strengthen border security against identified terrorists and terrorist suspects. Access to the European border watchlist (Schengen Information System II) contributes to the UK’s ability to safeguard its national security, and we use this to make checks on individuals wishing to enter the UK from the Schengen zone.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 02/03/2016 15:58:45 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
