Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 11 June 2025 to Question 57987 on Immigration: Northern Ireland, if she will make an estimate of the number of people from (a) Europe and (b) Africa who travelled to the Irish Republic and then made onward journeys to Northern Ireland in the last three years.

Journeys from Ireland to the UK are within the Common Travel Area (CTA). As part of the CTA arrangements, the UK does not operate routine immigration controls of individuals arriving in the UK by air or sea from within the CTA, and no immigration checks are undertaken at the land border with Ireland.
