To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what estimate she has made of the number of people who have entered the UK illegally using forged (a) passports and (b) visas in the last five years.
We do not hold or commission estimates of the number of individuals who may have entered the UK illegally using forged passports or visas over the last five years.

This data can be found here: Immigration system statistics data tables - GOV.UK.
