In his Budget speech, the Chancellor committed to providing funding to support the po-lice with additional pensions costs.</p><p>On 13 December we announced our proposed police funding settlement for 2019/20 which provides up to £970 million of additional investment in the policing system. This includes £153 million of additional pensions funding, £161 million in increased general grants and up to £509 million of additional funding from council tax precept, if Police and Crime Commissioners use the full flexibility provided. This provides enough funding for the police to meet their increased costs, while continuing to recruit and fill capability gaps like the shortage of investigators.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 25/01/2019 17:06:30 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the average length of time for a transfer under the Dublin III regulation procedure is from the moment an outgoing request is issued to the UK to the transfer to the Member State responsible.
tabling member constituency	Leeds North West
tabling member printed	Alex Sobel
uin	202852
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2019 answer text <p>The Dublin III Regulation is a long-standing mechanism between EU Member States to determine responsibility for examining asylum claims. It is not an application route for transfer to the UK. At present we do not publish data on cases covered by the Dublin Regulation. Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency, regularly publishes Member State figures, which can be found at: <a href="http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=migr_dubto&amp;lang=en" target="_blank">http://appsso.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/nui/show.do?dataset=migr_dubto&amp;lang=en</a></p><p>Under the Dublin III Regulation, member states have two months from receiving a request from another participating Member State to accept or reject responsibility for processing the asylum claim. <br>Once a Dublin request has been accepted, the Regulation provides that the sending Member State has six months to enact the transfer. The Home Office works closely with EU Member State partners to enact transfers as soon as possible and ahead of the six-month timeframe.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 202853 question first answered 25/01/2019 16:16:08 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
