The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what level of access do Border Force staff have to the Police National Database.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

Border Force does not routinely disclose operationally sensitive information, as to do so has the potential to prejudice law enforcement and the operation of immigration controls.

However, Border Force continue to work closely with law enforcement partners as necessary to share intelligence and protect UK security.
