Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many notifications the UK Border Agency received relating to people detained by police who were found to be in the UK illegally in the last 12 months for which figures are available; how many such notifications were acted on; and how many such notifications resulted in the UK Border Agency taking into custody the person in question for deportation or other enforcement action.

The UK Border Agency was abolished in March 2013. The Home Office is not able to provide the specific information requested as we do not record police notifications by immigration status.
