Border Force does not routinely publish data that does not meet the Home Office standard for publication or that could impact its operational effectiveness.

However, Border Force transparency data can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/border-force-statistics

Border Force is committed to ensuring that passengers arriving in the UK receive an excellent service. But this must also be balanced with our responsibility to Border Security, checking 100% of passports and making sure that anyone or anything that might cause harm to the UK is properly dealt with.
