Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many National Crime Agency officers were working on the issue of missing child asylum seekers as of 25 January 2023.

For security reasons, we do not disclose how many staff are working on an issue at a given time. The National Police Chiefs Council, Home Office Immigration and Border Force are focused on the missing child asylum seekers. The Home Office is working closely with policing and local authorities.
