The requested data can be found here:

If 95% or above of passenger wait times sampled are recorded as within the 25 minute (EEA) and 45 minute (non EEA) service standard, the service level is assessed as met, if less than 95%, then this is considered a breach of the service level.

The most recent published data is for Q1 2017 and shows Border Force performance at 98.5%.
