Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether UK Border Force check all passports presented at UK ports of entry against (a) Interpol and (b) Europol databases of lost and stolen passports and identity documents; and if he will make a statement.

It is longstanding policy not to disclose details of checks which may be carried out in relation to arrivals in the United Kingdom, as to do so would not be in the interests of border and national security.
