HC Deb 19 February 1991 vol 186 c72W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions have taken place with other European Community states about a common approach to refugees.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Asylum policy has been discussed in a wide range of meetings at both ministerial and official level between member states of the European Community. The Dublin convention, signed by 11 member states last June, seeks to clarify responsibilities for considering individual asylum cases.
