HC Deb 04 April 1985 vol 76 c716W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many British citizens were strip-searched by officials on arrival in Britain from overseas in 1984.

Mr. Waddington

No British citizens arriving in the United Kingdom in 1984 were subjected to a strip search by Home Office officials.

I am advised by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer that no central record is kept of strip searches carried out by customs officers.
