Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on whether migrants admitted under the one in one out policy have been (a) charged and (b) convicted of any criminal offence.

Answered by Alex Norris - Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice

The information requested is not centrally held and could only be collected and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

All individuals seeking to come to the UK under the UK/European Applicant Transfer Scheme, part of the UK-France Agreement, undergo stringent security and criminal checks. Any who fail these will not be permitted entry to the UK. Furthermore, any individuals who then proceed to make an asylum claim in the UK are subject to robust, mandatory security checks.

Under our agreement with France, we have removed over 1000 illegal migrants from British soil, contributing to the nearly 70,000 illegal migrants who have been returned since July 2024.

Answered by Anna Turley - Minister of State (Home Office)

A breakdown by the number of charges and convictions for all criminal offences is not centrally held and could only be collected and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Security checks are undertaken for all those arriving through illegal migration routes and law enforcement have the powers to deal with them appropriately. All asylum claimants are subject to mandatory security checks to confirm their identity and to link it to their biometric details for the purpose of immigration, security and criminality checks. These checks are critical to the delivery of a safe and secure immigration system. These system and security database checks are completed during the asylum screening process and before a decision is made.

We continually assess potential threats in the UK. The Home Office works closely with other government departments as well as relevant agencies and law enforcement.
