Ms Quin

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information is exchanged between the Governments of all European Union states on asylum seekers; and what rules of confidentiality are applied. [13159]

General information on asylum matters is exchanged through the Centre for Information, Reflection and Exchange on Asylum working group, established by the Council of the European Union. CIREA's discussions are normally confidential and do not include individual cases.
