National Border Targeting Centre
(asked on 10th December 2014) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times the National Border Targeting Centre has telephoned carriers to deny authority to carry in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 15th December 2014
The first statutory authority to carry scheme, the Security and Travel Bans Authority to Carry Scheme 2012, entered into force on 25 July 2012. No carriers were refused authority to carry any individual in 2010 or 2011. For reasons of National Security we do not disclose operational details on the scheme, including figures about the National Border Targeting Centre contacting carriers to refuse authority to travel.
