question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 4 May (HL7852), why they only conduct "targeted passport checks against selected cohorts of passengers leaving the UK for a range of law enforcement purposes", in the light of their response to the European Union Committee's report <i>Frontex: the EU external borders agency</i> (9th Report, Session 2007–08, HL Paper 60), which states their intention that by March 2014 the e-Borders system would have reached the key milestone of "the receipt and processing of data for 100 per cent of passengers and crew movements" ; whether it is still their aim to reach that milestone; and if not, when their policy was changed.

uin	HL8228
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>Routine embarkation controls by Border Force officers were abolished in 1994 and 1998, as the paper-based checks were deemed outdated and checks were not carried out on all modes of transport. However, Border Force does undertake targeted passport checks against selected cohorts of passengers leaving the UK for a range of law enforcement purposes. Since April 2015 exit data has been collected by carriers and port operators from all scheduled international commercial services departing the UK from air and sea ports and from international rail stations, except those services not within scope. Departure data is collected by carriers and port operators and transmitted to Home Office systems, where work takes place to match it to arrival data, visa conditions and other information as appropriate.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 12/05/2016 11:50:57 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
