Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether Immigration Enforcement has procedures for (a) notifying and (b) requesting permission from relevant organisations for enforcement operations (i) within and (ii) outside (A) Transport for London and (B) other rail stations.

Enforcement Operations conducted in areas under the control of the British Transport Police (BTP) within rail stations and Transport for London (TfL) locations are completed in cooperation with the BTP and / or TfL in line with the procedures set out on Partnership Working which can be accessed at Partnership working.docx (publishing.service.gov.uk).

Enforcement operations completed in the public areas outside a rail station or Transport for London locations, which are not under the control of the BTP are completed in line with the public operational enforcement procedures without notification unless the risk assessment deems this necessary. The procedures for enforcement operations in public areas can be accessed at Enforcement visits casework guidance (publishing.service.gov.uk) and enforcement-planning-assessments-v3.0-ext__002_.pdf (publishing.service.gov.uk).
