Identification of Criminals: Undocumented Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) fingerprints, (b) photos and (c) DNA samples have been collected from illegal immigrants arriving in the UK in each of the last five years.
Answered by Dame Angela Eagle
