Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many enforcement visits have taken place in each local authority in each of the last ten years; and what the total cost to the public purse was of these visits.

Information about the number of Enforcement Visits conducted by Immigration Enforcement in each local authority in each of the past ten years is not available in our published data. Our published national data on enforcement visits from 2019 – April 2024 is available at the following link: Statistics relating to Illegal Migration - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).

We do not routinely publish the information you have requested regarding the total cost of enforcement visits over the past ten years, and could only obtain this information at a disproportionate cost.
