Undocumented Migrants: Travel

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 21 January 2025UIN 23579

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many travel warrants have been issued to irregular migrants in each of the last five years; and what the total cost to the public purse of these were.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

Obtaining the information requested would involve checking multiple databases across multiple systems owned by multiple teams across the Home Office and, therefore, could only be collated at disproportionate cost.
