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

The Home Office does not centrally hold data on locations that staff are
recruited from. To identify this information, we would therefore need to review
each individual recruitment campaign, which would incur disproportionate cost.

Staff are deployed flexibly according to demand and move between locations and
regions. In order to provide information therefore on staff in the UK Visas and
Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement Directorates who reside
in Northern Ireland, locally held deployment plans would need
to be collected and analysed against individual employee's home addresses. This
would incur disproportionate cost.
