answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2021 answer text <p>People arriving by small boats across the Channel are subject to stringent checks on arrival in the UK and again as they are processed into the asylum system.</p><p>Immediately on arrival, initial identity checks are undertaken for all individuals over the age of five, based on the name given and fingerprints are checked against immigration and Police criminal databases.</p><p>Once triaged and moved to appropriate accommodation, arrivals will be subject to additional checks as part of the asylum intake process. This will include identity and biometric enrolment based on fingerprints taken, with details checked against law enforcement, immigration, Police and security databases. There may be some individual cases where these checks are not conducted. It is not possible to check these details against the EU systems to which the UK has access under the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement because use of those systems is only permitted for law enforcement, not immigration purposes.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 16/12/2021 16:02:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
