Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking with international partners to reduce the number of refugees and migrants in Greece.

We have?a?long standing?and strong relationship with Greece and?are committed to supporting Greece's efforts to manage migration effectively. On 22 April, the UK? and Greece signed a bilateral migration action plan to reaffirm our commitment to cooperation and to establish a strategic migration dialogue.? The Plan?includes a UK-Greece exchange of expertise on asylum and returns processes and organised immigration crime. This also forms part of our regional and international cooperation response, as part of a 'whole of route' approach to tackling the challenges of, and risks posed by, irregular migration. For example, our co-operation with Turkey is key to effectively managing migratory flows and preventing people risking their lives while attempting to cross the Aegean. We are actively engaging to help shape the international response on migration further up the route, working through an increasingly diverse set of partners and source and transit countries.
