Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of unaccompanied children who have been admitted to the UK under the Dublin Convention in 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At present we do not publish data on cases covered by the Dublin Regulation.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 can be found at:
