Andy Slaughter – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andy Slaughter on 2015-12-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many refugees have (a) died and (b) been injured during an attempt to reach Britain from the Calais refugee camp.

James Brokenshire

Data on migrants who have died or been injured is a matter for the French authorities and would be held by them.

The UK and France are unified in our joint efforts to address the migrant situation in Calais, and are clear that migrants should not risk their lives by making dangerous journeys in order to attempt to enter the UK illegally.
