Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what proportion of people departing the UK was matching API data recorded in each year since 2010.

The Home Office collects Advance Passenger Information for passengers who travel to the UK on routes connected to the Semaphore system. Advance Passenger
Information is also provided by a proportion of carriers for passengers departing the UK.

The estimated proportion of passengers travelled from the UK on routes connected to Semaphore in each year is in the following table.

Due to the ongoing legal arbitration between the Home Office and Raytheon it is not possible to disclose coverage data for 2010.
