Mr. George Osborne: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many forged passports have been impounded in each year
since 1997. [204452]
Mr. Browne: Figures are not kept centrally within the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) for the number of forged
passports impounded each year.
Since 1997 numbers of fraudulent travel documents detected at United Kingdom ports of entry are as follows:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number
1997 4,411
1998 6,338
1999 5,516
2000 5,394
2001 6,601
2002 9,664
2003 7,985
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Since 2001 the National Document Fraud Unit (NDFU) has had a permanent presence in the main offices of IND in Croydon, following a
pilot exercise which revealed large numbers of fraudulent travel documents being submitted in support of applications for leave to
remain. Fraudulent documents detected by NDFU in Croydon from 2001 are:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number
2001 360
2002 461
2003 837
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
The NDFU makes a significant contribution to work being carried out internationally in the EU, International Civil Aviation
Organisation (ICAO) and G8 to disrupt the work of forgers and to encourage states to impound, and thereby withdraw from circulation,
forged and fraudulent passports and other travel documents detected. It also works closely with travel document issuing agencies in
order to combat identity fraud and support the operation of border controls.
