Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of flights identified as high-risk where Border Force officials have not attended in the last 12 months; when the automated system for airports to check the civil aviation tracking system will be introduced; and if she will make a statement.
To release the information requested on flights identified as high-risk, which is operationally sensitive, would be contrary to the interests of national security. Border Force examines incoming general aviation flights in comparison with the Civil Aviation Tracking System. Border Force has considered options for improving the methods by which this is achieved and will develop this further in the coming year.
