Immigration Controls: Undocumented Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people absconded from ports of entry after being detained by Border Force officers in each year since 2010.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Home Office are unable to provide the requested data. This is on the basis the information requested is not available in a reportable format.
The Home Office are relentless in the pursuit of those who seek to enter the UK illegally. Our extensive security measures include robust, specialist measures from both Border Force and Immigration Enforcement.
