Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many requests the Government made under the Dublin III Regulation for an asylum application to be transferred to another country; and how many of those requests were agreed to during the last 12 months for which figures are available.

At present we do not publish data on cases covered by the Dublin Regulation.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 you can find at
