Asylum: France

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of (a) trends in the level of violence asylum seekers face at the UK-France border and (b) the potential impact of UK policy on those trends.

Answer

Violence against French law enforcement is unacceptable. Whilst the French law enforcement response to that violent conduct has to be a matter for the French authorities, we continue to support their operations to prevent small boat crossings.
