To ask His Majesty's Government how many random checks have been made in each month of 2025-6 of the immigration status of food and grocery deliver riders; and what steps are they taking to ensure that traders using the services of delivery riders employ only those with correct immigration status.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many random checks have been made in each month of 2025-6 of the immigration status of food and grocery deliver riders; and what steps are they taking to ensure that traders using the services of delivery riders employ only those with correct immigration status.
Immigration enforcement activity is intelligence led and targeted, focusing on known risk, harm, and noncompliance rather than randomised inspections.
Clamping down on illegal working continues to be a critical part of this Government’s work to restore fairness, order and control within the immigration and asylum system. As such, through the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act 2025, the Government has introduced tough new laws to clamp down on illegal working. This means that for the very first time, the Right to Work Scheme and associated civil penalties for non-compliance, will be extended to cover companies who contract workers to provide services under their company name; such as online delivery platforms in the gig economy, to conduct checks on a person’s right to work, and be liable for sanctions where illegal working is identified.
Alongside legislative change, the Home Office continues to engage with a range of businesses, including delivery companies operating in the gig economy, to promote compliance with illegal working legislation. This includes raising awareness of right to work requirements, supporting the use of compliant right to work checks, encouraging the use of robust identity and verification checks and taking enforcement action where employers or facilitators are found to be exploiting migrants or failing to meet their legal responsibilities.
The Home Office and the Department for Business and Trade have been working closely with major food delivery platforms. In 2025, Deliveroo, Uber Eats and Just Eat committed to increasing the use of facial verification checks and fraud detection technology to ensure only account holders and their registered substitutes can work off their platforms. This strengthened industry standard has resulted in the firms increasing the quantity and sophistication of checks they already conduct, with checks taking place daily.

Immigration Enforcement carried out two live facial recognition deployments in collaboration with South Wales Police and Greater Manchester Police. The Department are reviewing these operations and considering the next steps. The results of these deployments are available on gov.uk.
To ask His Majesty's Government why staff are "strongly advised" in the Immigration Enforcement Live Facial Recognition Policy Document published in November to refer to that document rather than being required to do so.
To ask His Majesty's Government why staff are "strongly advised" in the Immigration Enforcement Live Facial Recognition Policy Document published in November to refer to that document rather than being required to do so.
The Immigration Enforcement live facial recognition policy document was based on standard police guidance. However, we can confirm that during operational deployments it was made clear to relevant Home Office members of staff that adherence to the agreed-upon policies and processes was mandatory.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support local authorities in enforcing trading standards to help reduce the resale of stolen phones.
To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support local authorities in enforcing trading standards to help reduce the resale of stolen phones.
On 6 February the Home Secretary brought together police, the National Crime Agency, the Mayor of London, local government representatives, leading technology companies and others to drive greater collaboration in breaking the business model of mobile phone thieves. The Summit resulted in commitments from the police to work in partnership across force boundaries as well as in collaboration with local partners such as Trading Standards and other local authority resources to tackle this criminality. This collaboration is ongoing.
In addition, the Crime and Policing Bill includes a measure to give police the power to enter and search premises for stolen property that has been electronically geo-location tracked to those premises, where it is not reasonably practicable to obtain a warrant without seriously prejudicing the entry and search purpose.
Through our Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee we will also place thousands of additional police officers and police community support officers in neighbourhood policing roles to provide a more visible and effective service to the public, with each neighbourhood having named, contactable officers dealing with local issues, including the theft of mobile phones.
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the recent arrests of activists from the Youth Demand group in a Quaker Meeting House, what assessment they have made of the proportionality of (1) legislation governing protests in England; and (2) the enforcement of such legislation by the police.
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the recent arrests of activists from the Youth Demand group in a Quaker Meeting House, what assessment they have made of the proportionality of (1) legislation governing protests in England; and (2) the enforcement of such legislation by the police.
The enforcement of protest legislation is an operational matter for the police. It is within their discretion to determine whether a particular action warrants police involvement, based on their operational expertise and the specific circumstances of each case.

It is for local authorities to determine how to operate the powers granted to them in legislation.
Contracting enforcement to third parties is a common arrangement and it is for the local authority to ensure use of powers remains just and proportionate.
Contractors are bound by the same legal obligations, and the same safeguards in legislation, as councils themselves. Local authorities are also obliged to follow the rules set out in the Public Contract Regulations 2015 in appointment of such companies.

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they intend to take to ensure effective border control and management of illegal immigration.
This government is implementing a serious, practical plan for reform; the Home Secretary has taken immediate steps to strengthen our approach by launching a new Border Security Command (BSC). Capabilities from across the Home Office have come together to build the foundational operating model of BSC with over 90 staff currently in post. Wider recruitment is ongoing as part of the broader organisational design.
The BSC will provide strategic direction across several agencies and partners, drawing together the work of the National Crime Agency (NCA), intelligence agencies, police, Immigration Enforcement and Border Force.
It will also work with international partners to disrupt the activity of criminal smuggling gangs and ensure those profiting from people-smuggling are brought to justice.
As set out in the King’s speech, this government will introduce new legislative measures to restore order to our border.
The proposed new legislation will include provisions to give the border security system stronger powers to disrupt, investigate and prosecute facilitators of organised immigration crime.
Furthermore, in August the Home Secretary announced new measures to provide long term security to our border which included: the deployment of 100 specialist staff to the National Crime Agency (NCA) to disrupt and smash criminal smuggling gangs, a surge in enforcement and return flights, and increased detention capacity including 290 added beds at Campsfield and Haslar Immigration Removal Centres.
