Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what equalities monitoring her Department conducts on actions by (a) US immigration officials present at UK airports pursuant to an arrangement in place between the UK and US Governments and (b) airline personnel who refuse passengers permission to board flights to the US; and what steps her Department has taken to ensure that equalities monitoring occurs with respect to travel to the US from selected majority Muslim countries.

Under the US International Advisory Program (IAP), US Customs and Border Protection officers operate in a strictly advisory capacity and can only make recommendations to airlines on whether to allow travel.
