§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list those United Kingdom airports receiving scheduled flights from abroad which do not have permanent, full-time immigration service staff stationed at the airport.
§ Mr. Nicholas BakerThe airports are Belfast (International), Teeside, Humberside, Biggin Hill, Eastleigh (Southampton), Exeter and Kirkwall (Orkney). At six of these locations arrangements exist to provide immigration coverage from the nearest permanently staffed port or office. The exception is Kirkwall where immigration coverage of scheduled flights is provided by customs officers under the provisions of paragraph 1(1) of schedule 2 to the Immigration Act 1971.
