Passports: Forgery
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been arrested for using forged passports at airports in the last 12 months.
- Answer
-
The Home Office publishes statistics on detected irregular air arrivals to the UK in the ‘Irregular migration to the UK’ statistics release, available at:
Immigration system statistics quarterly release - GOV.UK
We do not hold central data on the number of people arrested for using forged passports at airports, and the figures could only be obtained for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
