Mr. Goggins: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department in what circumstances Her Majesty's immigration service is permitted to waive the requirement to provide staff at all United Kingdom airport terminals. [14251] Mr. Mike O'Brien: It is not a requirement of the Immigration Act 1971 for immigration officers to be present at an airport terminal building.
