The UK also supports both EU and Non-EU states in developing community sponsorship schemes, including through co-chairing the community sponsorship ‘States Network’ launched at the Global Refugee Forum in December.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/01/2020 17:40:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The actions of French police and security personnel remain the domestic responsibility of the French government, and as such the UK is unable to comment on their actions. Those who are moved on from camps are provided with the option of transport to asylum centres where their claims can be lodged and considered expediently. Within these centres, individuals are provided with any medical and administrative support they require. The Sandhurst Treaty and associated funding has supported this work. The UK and France will continue to collaborate in response to this issue, ensuring that the necessary support is delivered whilst upholding border security at our shared border.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/11/2019 17:46:05 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
