Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of Advanced Passenger Information checks has been completed by Border Force at primary check points on (a) scheduled flights, (b) unscheduled flights, (c) sea transportation and (d) rail transportation in each year since 2010.

Every route to the United Kingdom whether by air, sea or rail carries an element of risk, and assessment of risk is undertaken across all routes and all modes. Analysis of passenger, crew and service information in advance of travel or upon departure to the UK forms part of the risk assessment process – which is complemented by full checks of all passengers arriving at primary control point on all modes.
