ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER 2020
Question
Will the Minister advise –
- what data, if any, is collected regarding the number of people, and the personal details of any such people, who are stopped by Customs Officers on arrival in the Island at the Harbour and Airport; and
- how Customs Officers decide when, and whom, they stop and question?
Answer
- If a member of the travelling public is stopped by a Customs and Immigration Officer on arrival into the Island, and a search takes place subsequent to initial questioning, then the incident is recorded to include information such as basic personal details and the outcome of the search.
