Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 25 November (HL11798), how they can speed up the removal of illegal immigrants if they do not know the location of these individuals.

A range of measures is employed to maintain contact with individuals, including both face-to-face and digital reporting mechanisms. Immigration Enforcement possesses powers to trace and locate individuals who abscond, with a dedicated team that works in collaboration with the police, other government departments, and commercial organisations.
