Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many general aviation flights landed at UK airports without providing advance passenger information in each year since 2015.
Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)
Given our commitment to protecting the UK from harm, I am unable to share exact breakdowns on what flights submitted Advanced Passenger Information on security grounds. This is on the basis that the figures can reveal operational practices that could be exploited to evade border controls.
Border Force performs checks on passengers arriving at the UK border and risk-based intelligence led checks on goods, enabling interventions against those known or suspected to pose a risk to the national interest.

2021-22 | £1,615,263 |

The breakdown of spend by individual platform is commercially sensitive and it would therefore be inappropriate to provide this level of detail.
In accordance with advice from the Government Communication Service, the RN does not currently use the TikTok platform.
