Mr. Corbyn: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the immigration status inquiry unit was set up; how many
staff it has; how many (i) local authorities and (ii) other bodies have now registered with it; how many people suspected of
immigration offences have been notified to it in each month since it was set up; in how many such cases (a) enforcement action has
been taken and (b) the suspicion proved to be unfounded; and what was the average length of time taken to provide the information
requested. [20628]
Mr. Kirkhope: The immigration status inquiry unit dates from the late 1970s, although it was known as the overstayer tracing and
information section until 1994.
The unit currently has a complement of 42 administrative staff. A total of 251 local authorities, principally housing authorities,
have registered with it. Other bodies do not register as such but may receive information from immigration and nationality
directorate records only where they have an entitlement within established disclosure policy. The remainder of the information
requested is not available.
