Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many additional immigration officers have been appointed in each year between January 2018 and March 2023.

For security reasons, we would not disclose this level of detail about our workforce. The overall number of officers employed by both Immigration Enforcement and Border Force is at page 107 of the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts: HO annual report and accounts 2020-21 (publishing.service.gov.uk).
