answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2017 answer text <p>The consultations on the draft airports National Policy Statement on Heathrow Airport and on airspace policy are both matters of national importance in their own right, but are clearly related. The Government intends to bring forward the two consultations at the same time to enable the public and the aviation industry to consider all proposals together. Consulting in parallel can also enable the policy proposals set out in the airspace consultation which are adopted to be in place to influence decisions taken later on in the planning process for a proposed Northwest Runway at Heathrow. Equally, airspace is an important issue and the policy proposals cover the whole country, so it is right that we progress with policy proposals to bring improvements to the way it is handled nationwide.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL4366 HL4367 question first answered 09/01/2017 13:26:44 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they will announce the outcome of their review of their policy of returning to Afghanistan Afghan military interpreters who have sought asylum in the UK.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hamwee
uin	HL7420
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/04/2016 answer text <p>The policy on considering asylum claims is not under review. We carefully consider all asylum claims made in the UK, including those made by former interpreters with our armed forces in Afghanistan, in accordance with our international obligations under the Refugee Convention. Those who demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution are normally granted protection and are not expected to return to their country.</p><p>Those who are found not to be in need of international protection are refused but have a right of appeal to the independent courts. Once all appeal rights are exhausted, they are required to leave the UK, failing which their removal will be enforced.</p><p>Separate schemes have existed since 2013 to assist interpreters previously employed by the UK Armed Forces. These apply only to those who have remained in Afghanistan and, in recognition of their unique and exceptional service or the danger interpreters may face because of their work, can lead to relocation to the UK if certain criteria are met.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/04/2016 12:36:35 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
