HC Deb 24 July 1984 vol 64 c585W
Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many immigration officers, based in the United Kingdom, have been transfered within the United Kingdom, in each of the last three years, for reasons other than promotion, personal request or between terminals at London airport.

Mr. Brittan

There is often more than one reason for the transfer of an immigration officer and no central record is kept from which the information requested could be drawn.

Mr. Madden

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many immigration officers, based in the United Kingdom, have been transferred within the United Kingdom in each of the last three years, whilst opposed to such transfer; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

Opposition to transfers may not always be made known or recorded. The information requested is not, therefore, available.
