Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were prosecuted for trafficking and immigration offences following Border Force action in each period for which records exist in each year from 2010 to June 2015; and how many such prosecutions were successful.

Immigration Enforcement undertook the following prosecutions (see table below) for trafficking and immigration offences following border action. It is not possible to differentiate between offence type.

Prior to April 2014, the Home Office did not record this data in a reportable format. In order to extract this data each individual case would need to be interrogated and would incur disproportionate cost.
