The Bishop od Durham asked a question on engagement with other European countries on 28th January 2021, during a discussion on the EU-UK Joint Political Declaration on Asylum and Returns:
The Lord Bishop of Durham [V]: Does the Minister accept that some countries in Europe, such as Greece, Italy and France, are particularly important in bilateral negotiations? Will she confirm that a priority list of whom to engage with has been done and is being worked to?
Baroness Williams of Trafford (Con, Home Office): The right reverend Prelate is absolutely right to say that there are some countries where there will be more returns and relationships in terms of asylum seekers. I can confirm that those talks are ongoing; what I cannot do is give an ongoing commentary on them.
