To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what data his Department holds on the number of people fined under section (a) 23(2) and (b) 25(4) of the Immigration Act 2014 for each year since the Act came into force.
The link to the transparency data can be found here, and covers the period 2016 to September 2023: Immigration Enforcement data: Q3 2023 - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
Right to Work statistics can be found on tab CP02 and Right to Rent statistics can be found on tab CP03.
The data for 2023 only includes the published data covering the period January to September.
The information within the transparency data refers to the total numbers of entities who have received a civil penalty, rather than “the number of people fined”. For employment, this could mean a limited company, a sole trader, or a franchise. For renting, an entity could include a landlord or a letting agency.
It is possible that some entities have been fined on more than one occasion.
Data prior to 2016 does not exist in the same reportable format.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people have been identified as being unlawfully resident in the UK as a result of status checks undertaken by banks and building societies under the terms of the Immigration Act 2014.
Under the 2014 Immigration Act, banks and building societies are required to conduct an immigration status check against the Home Office disqualified person data before a current account is opened. Where this check confirms the applicant is a disqualified person, the bank or building society is prohibited from opening the account. There is no requirement for banks or building societies to notify the Home Office if they refuse to open an account.

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of (1) the Immigration Act 2014, and (2) the Immigration Act 2016, on the access of BAME communities to financial services.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of (1) the Immigration Act 2014, and (2) the Immigration Act 2016, on the access of BAME communities to financial services.
The Immigration Act 2014 prohibited banks and building societies from opening new current accounts for disqualified persons. The Immigration Act 2016 goes further and prevents existing accounts from being operated by disqualified persons.
There is no risk of discrimination. It is the individual’s immigration status that will decide whether their details are included in the Home Office data shared with banks and building societies. Individuals will only be affected by these measures if they are disqualified persons. Legal migrants who are able to satisfy commercial requirements for opening and operating an account will continue to have access to financial services.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with (1) banking regulators, and (2) the Equality and Human Rights Commission, about the application of the provisions of (a) the Immigration Act 2014, and (b) the Immigration Act 2016, by financial service providers.

The Government engages with industry regularly to understand how well the Immigration Act 2014 banking measures are working. The Financial Conduct Authority, as the independent financial services regulator, has concluded that banks and building societies are complying with the requirements of the 2014 Act.
The Government is continuing to engage with industry and the Financial Conduct Authority ahead of implementation of the Immigration Act 2016 banking measures to ensure operational preparedness.
These measures are a proportionate tool to deter immigration crime, tackle illegal migration and protect the integrity of the immigration system. They are compliant with the Data Protection Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998.

These measures only apply to disqualified persons. These are known illegal migrants who are liable for removal or deportation from the UK. The Home Office does not comment on numbers on the disqualified persons list as it is subject to change based on immigration status.
Under the 2014 Act, banks and building societies are not required to inform the Home Office or the FCA when they refuse to open a current account for a disqualified person; a statutory reporting requirement would impose a disproportionate regulatory burden on industry.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the average cost to banks and building societies of undertaking status checks on individuals under the terms of the Immigration Act 2014; and what would be the cost to the Home Office of undertaking those same checks.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the average cost to banks and building societies of undertaking status checks on individuals under the terms of the Immigration Act 2014; and what would be the cost to the Home Office of undertaking those same checks.
The Government’s Impact Assessment sets out estimated costs for both the Home Office and banks and building societies and is published on the gov.uk website. Costs for each bank and building society will vary depending on the business model of a particular institution; however, the primary cost of the measures was due to the process changes banks and building societies needed to make to ensure they could correctly undertake the requirements set out in the Act.
The Government has sought to ensure that the banking measures in both the 2014 and 2016 Immigration Acts avoid imposing undue burdens on industry, and will not impact on those individuals who want to legitimately open a current account.
