Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether immigration officers, when scanning the passports of arrivals in the UK, are automatically alerted to any person arriving at a UK port of entry who is subject to a deportation order.

The UK holds a watchlist of adverse information and intelligence drawn from a variety of sources, including the police. The system is used by Home Office staff for the purposes of national security and the detection and prevention of crime. It is longstanding policy not to discuss either the specific data held on the watchlist, the source of the data or how it is used as to do so would be counterproductive.
