Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what mechanisms exist for national authorities to refer safeguarding disclosures made by asylum seekers to the relevant authorities in France where appropriate.

The Home Office has frameworks and processes in place to facilitate the sharing of sensitive information with stakeholders, including international partners. The sharing of such information is regularly reviewed by the Home Office to ensure it remains necessary, proportionate and complies with legislation including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
