Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many UK Border Agency staff are based at (a) its Belfast public enquiry office, (b) Belfast City Airport, (c) Belfast International Airport, (d) City of Derry Airport and (e) ports and harbours in Northern Ireland; and if she will make a statement.

The work of the UK Border Agency is now undertaken by the UK Visas and
Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement Directorates of the Home
Department. For border security reasons, it is not possible to provide a
breakdown of staff numbers by location. Furthermore, staff are deployed
flexibly according to demand and therefore move between locations. As at 31st
May 2014, however, there were 164 members of staff based in Northern Ireland
across the UK Visas and Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement
Directorates.
