David Hanson – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Hanson on 2016-02-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many undeclared passengers were identified by the Border Force in each of the last five years.

James Brokenshire

For the purpose of this question Border Force have assumed that ‘undeclared passenger’ means any passenger travelling in any mode of transport whose movement has not been notified in the prescribed manner.

Border Force does not collate records of ‘undeclared passengers’. But it works closely with aircraft operators, pilots and others to maximise the provision of Advance Passenger Information in all modes.
