Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how UK Border Force has performed against its target of processing non-EEA passengers at UK airports within 45 minutes in each month since January 2018.

Border Force service standards are that 95% of British and other European Economic Area (EEA) passengers, from the point they join an immigration queue, are seen by an officer within 25 minutes. For non-EEA passengers, the service standard is that 95% of passengers are seen by an officer within 45 minutes.

Published data on the clearance of passengers at the border can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/border-force-transparency-data-may-2018.
