Meanwhile said Anundsen that he has not been notified of subordinate agencies, and that he must to assume that police read His award letter.
On Friday, Attorney General Anders Anundsen (FRP) grilled by the Parliamentary Control Committee in asylum children matter.
To which he replied on the disputed points:
1. That new guidelines never reached the police
Asylum Children case started with the Bergens Tidende (BT) in early December revealed that the political guidelines of the Ministry that while remaining asylum children were screened, were never communicated clearly further down in police system.
Police Director Odd Reidar Humlegård said yesterday that it was “embarrassing” that he captured the new wording on long remaining children in the allocation letter from the Ministry, but argued nonetheless that the message was intercepted. Humlegårdsvägen said, however, that change was never communicated from Anundsen in dialogue or otherwise.
Anundsen: – It is in the award letter change will be given. I must assume that subordinate agencies and leaders read the letters of allocation and perceive what it says there. But there is room for improvement in this communication.
2. That far more long remaining were sent out
Figures from the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) show that 80 children who had lived in Norway for more than four years, was deported in the blue government first full year, 2014 . There are twice as many as during the coalition in 2013. When asylum agreement with the government was signed, perceived Left and KrF that the development should go in the opposite direction.
Anundsen: – Latest half was a significant increase in the number of returns. There was also a sharp increase of children, and then it becomes also more long remaining children, argues Anundsen.
He admitted that there had been no clear policy change in the direction KrF and Left wanted in this area.
– I see it is difficult to ascertain that policy change has actually given result when you look at the numbers.
3. That he never read disposal screaming vein from POD to the police
Anundsen admitted in a letter to parliament before Christmas that neither he nor anyone else in the department had read through leaflet sent to PU about their tasks for 2015 although a copy was sent to them. Anundsen first became acquainted with letter mistake through the media – nine months later.
Anundsen: – We did not read these to capture or control of POD had caught up the new signals. We must have a trust-based management. But we have learned in this matter, that we for the future must go closer into this.
4. That Police Immigration Service (PU), in briefings to the Ministry informs that not have perceived policy change.
The ministry was repeatedly informed of PU on individual cases could end with “noise” in the media, also because the situation of long remaining asylum children are part of the agreement with the centrist parties. In the letters says that PU has not perceived that it is here to guidelines for restraint families.
Anundsen – I deplore the expression that the letters sent to the Ministry of Justice , warnings.
Former Undersecretary Himanshu Gulati was also grilled on this point, because it should have been he who received copies of the letters. He did not react to the wording of the letters.
– It is true that we have not given the message that long remaining children could not be returned, responded Gulati.
5. That he should have priority “easy” cases
BT wrote on January 13 that the Justice Department, to reach the target for the number of returns of asylum seekers sent out children over criminals.
This point was primarily police director and PU commander replied. Both argued it is a fallacy that children were prioritized over criminals in return queue.
– It is not so families are easier to return than criminals. How easy some are returning depends partly on whether it is known identity, said the chief of the Police Immigration Unit, Kristin Kvigne.
