Mr David Hanson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mr David Hanson on 2014-03-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many exit checks were performed on passengers leaving the UK in each year since 2010.

James Brokenshire

The number of outbound passengers checked on Home Office systems for each of
the last 4 years is as follows:

2010 – 65 034 675
2011- 70 627 943
2012 – 67 960 290
2013 – 82 311 725

The figure for 2013 is more than the combined total of exit checks performed
between 2005 and 2009 inclusive (74 297 809) and more than twice the 2009
figure (35 283 019).
