Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 5 January 2021 to Question 94543 on Offshore Industry: Conditions of Employment, what information her Department holds on the number of recorded incidents of Border Force identifying people entering the UK for the purposes of offshore employment who (a) do not have the right to do so and (b) do not hold relevant entry clearance in the latest period for which figures are available.

Border Force does not hold the data in an easily accessible format on those entering the UK for the purposes of offshore employment who do not have the right to do so and/or do not hold relevant entry clearance.

However, the Home Office published data on how many people are detained or returned on gov.uk. The latest publication can be found at: How many people are detained or returned? - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
