Operation Gull is an ongoing Home Office Immigration Enforcement intelligence led initiative and deployments are carried out on that basis.

The information requested is not currently available from published statistics, and the relevant data could only be collated and verified for the purpose of answering this question at disproportionate cost.

Our recently published data release about enforcement activity in Northern Ireland which includes Operation Gull deployments is available here: Northern Ireland enforcement activity between 1 October 2022 and 31 May 2026 - GOV.UK.
