Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to ask the government of France not to close or reduce numbers in La Linière Camp, Grande Synthe, Dunkirk, until alternative safe provision has been made for children and vulnerable adults now there, including pregnant women, the disabled and elderly; and what steps they are taking to ensure that people in those categories are admitted to the camp despite the overall reduction in numbers.

Whilst both the UK and France share concerns about the wellbeing of migrants in France and continue to work in close co-operation, the management of and decision on whether or not to close the migrant camp in Dunkirk is a matter for the French authorities.
