The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Green of Deddington on 2016-01-28.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many asylum seekers have been transferred from the UK to other EU member states under the Dublin Regulations owing to (1) family reasons (Articles 8, 9 and 10), and (2) irregular entry (Article 13.1), in each of the years for which data are available.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Green of Deddington on 2016-05-19.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many European Health Insurance Cards they have issued to citizens of each European Economic Area country in each of the last five years.

Lord Prior of Brampton

The Government does not hold the information requested.

The United Kingdom European Health Insurance Cards (EHICs) enable people living in the UK to travel to the European Economic Area safe in the knowledge that they will be able to receive free or reduced cost healthcare should they need it.

Entitlement to EHICs (in all European Economic Area countries) is based on ‘insurability’ under European Union law, not on a person’s nationality. In the UK, we operate a residency-based healthcare system which means that, ‘insurability’ is generally determined by a person’s residency status.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 19 October (HL2532), which specific elements of European law require the right to challenge an adverse asylum decision via an effective remedy; and whether the nature of such a remedy is prescribed.

Lord Bates

Article 39 of the Asylum Procedures Directive requires that EU member states must provide an effective remedy before a Court or Tribunal in respect of a decision taken on a person’s asylum application.

The nature of the remedy is not prescribed beyond requiring it to be before a Court or Tribunal.
