Passports

(asked on 19th June 2014) - View Source

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether British passport holders wanted by the police have their details routinely reported to Border Force.


This question was answered on 23rd June 2014

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.
