Written Answers

Prisons: Immigration Officers
Asked by: Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party - Perth and Kinross-shire)
Monday 19th October 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Immigration Officers were employed in the operational arm of the Foreign National Offender Returns Command Immigration Prison Team on 2 September 2026; which prisons those officers were based in; and whether they were located (a) within the prison estate, (b) in embedded hubs and (c) in other facilities.

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

The Home Office does not publish the number of visits conducted by immigration officers (IOs) in UK prisons.

It may be useful to note that Immigration Prison Team (IPT) IOs do a significant number of engagements by virtual means, particularly across the Scottish Prison Service estate.

Consequently, the number of physical visits conducted by IOs would not accurately reflect the work IPT do across the prison estate.

However, as of 2 September 2026, there were 93 IOs employed by Foreign National Offender Returns Command. These officers are located within the IPT, which covers all prisons in the UK. Most of the IPT’s officers are embedded in prison locations. However, some are located within Home Office (HO) premises, from where they conduct prison visits.

The number of IOs embedded in a hub and the prisons they cover are:
