HC Deb 14 July 1993 vol 228 c493W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information is available to the Government on persons residing or working illegally in the United Kingdom; and from what sources the information is drawn.

Mr. Charles Wardle

Information about illegal entrants, overstayers and those working in breach of their immigration conditions may be available from records held by the immigration and nationality department. Those responsible for the enforcement of the immigration law also receive information from the police, for other Government Departments and agencies, and from members of the public.
