The United Kingdom has a proud tradition of providing sanctuary to those in need of protection. Where we are responsible for deciding asylum claims we will consider all cases on their individual merits.<\/p>
Our domestic legislation and Immigration Rules underline the importance of claiming asylum in the first safe country, which is reflected in section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration (Treatment of claimants etc.,) Act 2004. This clearly states that a failure to take advantage of a reasonable opportunity to claim asylum in a safe country shall be taken into account in assessing the individual\u2019s credibility.<\/p>
In light of the recent sharp increase in the number of migrants attempting perilous Channel crossings to the UK in small boats, I have asked my officials to look at what more we can do to deter asylum seekers from travelling to the UK \u2013 often dangerously \u2013 from other safe countries in the first place.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4048", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Nokes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romsey and Southampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Nokes"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-01-17T16:02:46.977Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-01-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Asylum"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it remains his Department's policy to consider an asylum-seeker's claim for asylum less favourably if that person did not claim asylum in the first safe country they reached; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4433", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Thangam Debbonaire"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bristol West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Thangam Debbonaire"} ], "uin" : "208342"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1041315", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1041315/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Home Office has designed the new contracts to replace the current COMPASS services to ensure a smooth transition from the old contractual obligations to the new contractual requirements.
The timetable allows eight months for mobilisation and transition activities, which is consistent with the timeline for transition to operationalise the current contracts.<\/p>
The Asylum Accommodation and Support Contract (AASC) mobilisation transition plans have also built on a number of lessons, including the creation of an appropriately resourced function with suitable experience, expertise and understanding of the new contracts.<\/p>
We will be working with local authorities to ensure an effective transition<\/p>
Applications under the pilot phases of EU Settlement Scheme have been processed very quickly. Some applicants have needed to provide additional information and we have worked with them to ensure they know what information they need to provide. For these cases decisions could take longer as we will rely on the applicant providing that information in order to progress their application.<\/p> Further details will be provided in the second private beta report which will be published in due course.<\/p>"}
