To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many Immigration and Nationality Directorate staff have assisted in the deportation of asylum seekers living in the London Borough of Harrow in the last 12 months. [117924]
Beverley Hughes
It is not possible to say how many Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) staff have assisted in the removal of asylum seekers from the London Borough of Harrow. This is because neither IND or Immigration Service staff concentrate on the removal of asylum seekers living in specific boroughs or towns, but instead concentrate on the removal of asylum seekers from the geographical area that is covered by each Local Enforcement Office (LEO).
