Refugees: Children
(asked on 17th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many unaccompanied refugee children have been brought to the UK under the Dublin III Regulation in each quarter of 2017; and what were the countries of origin of those children.
This question was answered on 24th January 2018
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. Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency, regularly publishes Member State figures, which can be found at:
