Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether police data on individuals with no fixed abode will be used by immigration enforcement officials.
Police Officers refer any suspected immigration offenders to the Home Office’s National Command and Control Unit (NCCU), this includes details of individuals with no fixed abode. First and foremost, NCCU officers will provide appropriate advice and support where required to the police to safeguard any vulnerable individuals. NCCU officers then consider any further action required with regard to the individual’s 'insecure' immigration status, including signposting individuals to other Home Office Teams to regularise their stay where appropriate.
