Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 12 January 2017 to Question 59330, for what reasons her Department does not hold information on the number of persons examined under Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000 at individual UK airports; in what format data is supplied to her Department; and if she will make a statement.

The Home Office receives data on a quarterly basis from the National Counter Terrorism Policing Headquarters (NCTPHQ) on the number of examinations and subsequent detentions made in Great Britain under Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000. The data received from NCTPHQ cover the total numbers for Great Britain as a whole, with data for individual ports and airports not provided. The data are then published in the quarterly “Operation of Police Powers under the Terrorism Act 2000 and Subsequent Legislation” publication.
