Undocumented Migrants
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people attempting to illegally enter the UK by stowing away in (a) lorries and (b) other road vehicles have been apprehended in each of the past ten years.
Answered by Alex Norris
Irregular migration data, which includes figures for clandestine detections at UK ports, is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/immigration-system-statistics-data-tables#irregular-migration.
The Home Office does not disclose statistics regarding the specific vehicle involved in these detections.
