Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 10 January to Question 206043 on Undocumented Migrants: Boats, for what reason his Department does not routinely publish that data; and if he will make it his policy to publish that data routinely.

Border Force does not routinely publish data that does not meet the Home Office standard for publication or that could impact its operational effectiveness. There are no current plans to routinely publish this data in the future.Border Force transparency data can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/border-force-statistics
