Border Force has not deported anyone working in the Scottish Fishing Industry at public expense within the last 5 years.

Immigration Enforcement cannot estimate the cost of deporting people who moved to the UK to work in the Scottish fishing industry as to do so would involve a manual search of records which could only be conducted at disproportionate cost.
