Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to begin recording details of all persons departing the UK; and when they intend to implement any such plans.

We re-introduced exit checks in April 2015 to further complement our work on border security, plus support the Home Office’s wider work to deal with illegal immigration.

Passengers leaving the country on scheduled commercial air, sea and rail routes, on journeys outside the Common Travel Area, go through exit checks.
