The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many employees of (a) Immigration Enforcement, (b) UK Visas and Immigration, (c) Border Force and (d) HM Passport Office have been found guilty of (i) corruption and (ii) immigration offences in each of the last 10 years.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Note that we do not distinguish between immigration, crime and corruption stated in the request. We categorise all immigration crime as corruption and therefore provided a total figure.
