To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 February 2016 to Question 22830, whether the Warnings Index Checks system has been affected by high-priority incidents in the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 February 2016 to Question 22830, whether the Warnings Index Checks system has been affected by high-priority incidents in the last five years.
All Border Force systems and services, including the Warnings Index system, are constantly monitored and closely managed so any arising incidents can be quickly and effectively resolved. Whilst there have been a small number of high priority incidents during the period in question with the Warnings Index system, like other Home Office technology services, it has layers of resilience built into it along with supporting continuity arrangements. This resilience and operational arrangements has enabled controls at the border to be maintained with no suspension of checks at any port since November 2011. The migration in the autumn of 2014 of the core Warning Index services to modern data-centres has significantly improved its reliability and stability.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many alerts were issued by the National Border Targeting Centre to the regional offices of Border Force relating to flights of potential interest in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many alerts were issued by the National Border Targeting Centre to the regional offices of Border Force relating to flights of potential interest in each of the last five years.
The National Border Targeting Centre issue alerts to both police and Border Force officials at the UK border. The figures provided record those alerts raised for Immigration or Customs reasons at the Border, and do not include any police alerts.
In 2013 Border Force implemented a quality assurance procedure of Border Force alerts which were being disseminated to the frontline. You will see that in 2012, alerts steadily dropped. Alert ratios reduced due to a more stringent alert framework being adopted by the agency. Alerts were of a higher quality and specifically directed to manage the threat to the Border depending on the priorities of the Border Control Strategy and threat assessment.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many undeclared passengers were identified by the Border Force in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many undeclared passengers were identified by the Border Force in each of the last five years.
For the purpose of this question Border Force have assumed that ‘undeclared passenger’ means any passenger travelling in any mode of transport whose movement has not been notified in the prescribed manner.
Border Force does not collate records of ‘undeclared passengers’. But it works closely with aircraft operators, pilots and others to maximise the provision of Advance Passenger Information in all modes.

2011 | 408 |
2012 | 331 |
2013 | 399 |
2014 | 391 |

Deactivation of the chip reading function by Border Force staff is routinely monitored. The occasions reported above have been thoroughly investigated and none has given rise to concerns about officer integrity. We are also satisfied that there has been no risk to the border as a result. An investigation is ongoing with the system supplier to ascertain whether a technical issue may have caused these incidents.

Period | Penalty Notices issued | Penalties imposed on British drivers and hauliers | Penalties imposed on non- UK drivers and hauliers |

These figures do not relate to the number of penalty notices issued/ imposed for incidents/cases which occurred during these three years. This information is from internal management reports.
The civil penalties paid by UK citizens and foreign nationals in the same period as a whole is information that is not held in an immediately retrievable format and would have to be recovered manually, incurring disproportionate cost. The total amount of penalties without nationality specified is held. This information is from management information reports. Penalty payments made may not necessarily be for the same year that they were imposed. For example if a penalty was imposed in 2014 and then subject to appeal it might not be paid until much later.
Period | Penalties imposed | Penalties received |
01/04/12 - 31/03/13 | £890,544 | £ 484,922 |
01/04/13 – 31/03/14 | £4,070,471 | £ 2,293,699 |
