Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many general aviation pre-flight passenger notifications were not submitted in the timescales specified in the Commissioners' Directions in each month since they were introduced in 2013.

The requested data is not held centrally.

The Home Office does not hold data on how many private flights did not submit advance notification within timescales specified in the Commisioners' Directions. Border Force has the capability to identify flights which have not submitted advance data; this then informs part of the risk assessment process.

Where a flight does not submit advance data it will automatically be classified as High Priority.
