Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many requests the UK has made to EU member states for information on the criminal background of EU citizens in 2021; and how many responses it has received.
The Home Office does not hold the information requested.
However, statistics on the Criminal Records Exchange are published by the national Criminal Records Office (ACRO) quarterly.
