Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to increase the number of people employed in Immigration Enforcement.

Immigration Enforcement is at the heart of the Government’s ambition to maximise the return of foreign criminals and others with no legal basis to remain in the UK, and to restore order and control to our immigration system. Immigration Enforcement have well developed resourcing plans in place, aimed at delivering a significant increase in the size of the command in the course of this financial year.
