A deputy permanent secretary from the Udlændingeministeriet bad in 2016 orally to the agency to manage according to a press release, which later became an illegal instruction. But it should be with the exceptions of the act.
It says the head Line Shooter Dark Hansen on Monday in Instrukskommissionen, which is set up to investigate the illegal instruction, that led to the asylpar, where one was a minor, were separated.
– the press Release appears without exceptions, because the minister has chosen to take them out. It does not mean that there are not exceptions, we are well aware that there will come, she says, that she has said orally to the committee.
In the several summaries of the case internally and to the Ombudsman appears however, as if the foreign office does not have perceived, that there had to be administered with the exceptions.
In an answer to Parliament the then minister Inger Støjberg in 2017 confirmed that the committee received an oral tradition from the ministry on how it should be administered.
the press Release, which was for an instruction, meant that no minors in the future charged along with an older spouse or partner. It would apply regardless of whether the couple have common children.
Line Shooter Dark Hansen called the former deputy director of the foreign office Lene Vejrum 10. February.
the Latter has a part weeks after compiled a telefonnotat, where it is not stated explicitly, whether the agency was asked to manage with exceptions.
It gets the commission’s questions to wonder about, to Line Shooter Dark Hansen has made the point that there should be administered, with exceptions – if the board understood it differently.
– of course, You can fret over, that you do not have written a telefonnotat.
– I could never dream about to call out and say that someone should do something illegal, it would be absurd, says Line Shooter Dark Hansen and explains that it is ‘even more absurd’, if Lene Vejrum not say no if she was asked to do something illegal.
According to the Støjberg was it was a mistake, that Udlændingeministeriet not got sent a real instruction over to the immigration office. Therefore ended the press release as an instruction.
Thus it was, according to the minister’s explanation is not intended that it should go to. She could not answer the question of why there was not sent a proper instruction, when she was questioned.
