§ Mr. Peter DuncanTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many individuals have been detained by the Police Service of Northern Ireland on immigration offences at(a) Belfast port and (b) Lame port. [103269]
§ Beverley HughesThe Immigration Service does not routinely collect the information requested. A check of information which is held by Immigration Service would be time consuming and disproportionately expensive and would not, in any event, represent the full total of police arrests since a proportion of these may have originated, and have been recorded, as matters not related to immigration offences.
